    Hi all

    Anyone got any opinions on the tax exams? IE are they beneficial to have on the CV even if the person does not plan on working in tax?.

    Im a qualified ACA who is looking to do some further study, partly for the challenge and for the learning element, and partly to bump up the CV. I currently work as a Fund Accountant

    Ideally i would do an MBA but cant afford the 30K right now. I have looked into the Tax Exams and the syllabus and it seems quite interesting. I would also be exempt from level one which just leaves 2 levels to complete

    Is there any benefit to knuckling down and completing the tax exams now
    and hopefully then doing the MBA in 3-5 years time when I can actually afford to do it?

    Thanks

    Like you, I am a qualified ACA and am currently sitting my tax finals. They are very tough (no doubt i failed today!) but i think it is a good course. If you didnt have much interest in going into tax, i don't know how beeneficial it would be to you as the course goes well beyond what you would do for the ACA exams and is tailored towards working in a tax department, especially on international issues which you would not have come across when you did your ACA
