ACCA qualified self-employment without a practising certificate
Permalink Closed

Hi

I am new to the forum and looking for a bit of advice please.  I am an ACCA member, 3 years post qualified but over 10 years accounting experience.  I have previously done payroll (quite a few years ago), but also purchase ledger, sales ledger, nominal ledger, credit control, journals etc., management accounts with variance analysis and commentary.  Did ICB and AAT along the way, so very comfortable with double entry bookkeeping.

I am considering working as a self-employed bookkeeper without a practicising certificate from ACCA.  I would be grateful for the input of anyone out there working this way.  Do you find that the rules regarding self employment are too restrictive to obtain and retain clients, or do you find you can manage to make a business by doing accounts up to TB stage and then getting an Accountant to do the final accounts and tax returns etc.,

I would welcome your input.

Many thanks.

Resign from ACCA and work as an "unregulated accountant" or get a practising certificate.

Most of the general public dont know the difference between a qualified accountant and non qualified.

I am currently just a member of ICPA and have about 120 clients that have built up in about 2 years.

Provided you do a good job at a good price they wont be bothered.  Make sure you have the necessary cover such as PII, MRL, etc.

Regards

Mark
