ACCA Prof. Student; Should I be applying for the Big 4 Grad programs?

Sterno · 2013-09-22 21:17:02

So after 20 years in a different field, I am retraining in Accountancy with ACCA. I've passed all the F1-F9 and am Taking P1 and P2 in December. I'm looking at applying to the Big 4 for my first accountancy job. I'm curious as to what level. Should I be applying for the graduate recruitment? Or what level would you suggest?

I'm not an expert in this field at all but from listening to the other half , who is an accountant ,you are still considered a trainee until you have your exams passed plus 3.5 years experience in the field of accounting. So I'm assuming you will need to look for trainee or part qualified (once you have your exams) roles. Hope this helps in some way :-)
