Accountants work at the cutting edge of business and industry
and have a far-reaching impact on the strategies of organization
throughout the world. They are the people who make the high-level
strategic decisions that improve profitability and increase
market share. In the UK, some 80% of the FTSE 100 companies
have at least one Chartered Accountant on the board as Chief
Executive Officer or as Finance Director.

or employers in accountancy firms, or as sole practitioners,
offering fee-paying client services ranging from audit and tax
to management and forensic accounting.

about anywhere. You get an idea of the breadth of career paths
