Very few careers would let you head to the states. Too much red tape with immigration.

Also, how to put this nicely, written communication skills are usually important for accountants.

So what is what I written wasn't good enough for. I only asked for help on were too start in line of work. courses etc.

Do you already have a Degree ?? If so I have heard of people been allowed to come into 2nd of a 3 year BA Hons Accounting and Finance this would leave roughly 18 months and you could get full cap1 exemptions.

I would disagree with techni-fan as accountancy can be a stepping stone to the US from the perspective of bigger firms with US offices.

There's also the IWT scheme;

If you make a good impression then the US firm can do all the running in sponsoring you beyond the 12 months.

I would agree with techni-fan about your communication skills. You've used "were to start" instead of "where to start" not once but twice!

I think you need to talk to a career guidance councellor.

Practicing your communication skills would be a good start.

If your original post is anything to go by they could do with improving. Communication is a key skill in the modern environment, I'm not trying to insult you or your intelligence but, you asked for advice and that the first thing that came to mind having read what you posted.

People can only go by what you are typing. And to be honest with you, it does not look good.

Cena, if English is your first language you need to take a basic grammar and business communications course either at the same time or prior to embarking on a professional qualification. The number of errors you are making in what are simple requests for information would not be considered acceptable in a business environment either here in Ireland or in the US.

If English is not your first language it would probably be advantageous to take a specific business English course before you start to study. Otherwise you may find yourself becoming bogged down in the vocabulary etc. associated with the material you will need to study to become an accountant.

The individual colleges will have information on the various business, finance and accounting courses each offers. You should be able to access this from their websites. The various accounting bodies also offer exam exceptions based on the successful completion of undergraduate and/or masters programs.

Yes. English is my first language. I had learning difficulties in English growing up and still have a small bit.

I didn't do business studies in school. So I would have too start from the real beginging

If you want to do degree (part time) to earn exemptions from the accounting exams try something like this: http://www.ucd.ie/quinn/centrefordistancelearning/programmes/diplomabachelorinbusinessstudies/

If you want to go straight to the accounting exams try BPPfor ACCA or CIMA.

If you want to do a distance learning degree you could do something like this;
Open university - business studies degree with accounting

Cena do NOT embark on a degree or any form of professional study without doing these tests:
http://www.accaglobal.com/en/qualifications/ready.html

Those places will take your money and you might even have a lot of luck with the early multiple choice questions. At the end of the day I don't think you have sufficient English language skills to pass the strategy papers at professional level.

I could do very well. I'v passed all other tests i'v done in my life with my english.

Any ways isn't the job really about numbers and not a language

Communication is very important - the higher level exams are mostly writing.
