I hope I'm in the right place but I'm sure the moderators will move me if not. I'm Peter, long term unemployed/Jobseeker and looking to get into Self Employment as a Bookkeeper. I am terrified as I never wanted to be self employed and this may now be my only route. I have too many questions and am having t...

Please excuse me if this is the wrong place - I'm sure a kindly moderator will move it if this is the case. Presuming my only MLR recourse is HMR&C registration and that this is £110 per premises can I pass a question around? There is a self-employed bookkeeper whose methods I admire. Though they do...

Hello It's probably best if I start this by telling you where I am at the moment... but please be patient, this is going to be long and convoluted! At the age of 16 (I'm now 48) I started my work life as an office junior and was taught basic book-keeping. I must have been okay at it because by the age of 19 I was...

I've done a foundation degree in Business in the past. It seems I covered much of the stuff in levels 3 and 4 of the AAT qualification. I'm wondering if it is possible to sit the exams for levels 3 and 4 without a learning provider? -- Edited by Tim on Monday 7th of October 2013 01:55:55 AM

Hi I read on here not so long ago that you can go from level 3 ICB to AAT Level 4 is this right? I've passed the ICB level 3 exams including Payroll and the Tax Returns Diploma - is this enough to go to level 4? It would be great so skip level 3 - I know the AAT website has a skills check but I get the feeling this will...

Hi everyone, About 5 years ago I completed ICB level 1 and 2 computerised and manual bookkeeping.
