Where to begin?!
Permalink Closed

Hi, I am new to this forum.

I am currently studying IAB level 3, I already hold the AAT Level 2 but this was taken some time ago and was told today I do not need to sit the Level2 IAB exam which saves me some cash! I have also bought Sage Self study course level 3 (thanks to Shamus!) to refresh my memory as not used for a few years now!

I have worked in accounts p/l & mainly credit control for 10 years and am hoping to start out on my own once qualified as now at home with 2 small children.

I know I need insurance and to register with HMRC for ML.

Am planning on approaching local accounting firms for some book keeping work and also offering to do my local football clubs accounts for free - in the hope I will gain some business from the players who are largely self employed sole traders?

I am in Bristol so if anyone has any recommendations in the area would be fab.

Any tips would be gratefully received.

Thanks Pamela

Hi Pamela

When you've done the IAB L3 you should be able to join IAB and get your MLR under their umbrella so no need to pay HMRC (it's also cheaper) and also PII should be cheaper.
