ACCA Employment Prospects

First, the four major accounting firms

For ACCA holders, the starting salary is relatively average, which may not be worth it compared with the complicated workload, but it has a good reputation. After working for 3-5 years, there is great hope of going abroad to study business school or transferring to other foreign companies, so it is called "talent springboard".

The Big Four has two positions: auditing and consulting. However, after the audit scandal in 2002, most of the consulting business was stripped out, and it is difficult to get consulting positions at present. However, even if you are engaged in general audit work in the Big Four, there are many opportunities to learn and practice business consulting.

The four general reference salaries of new employees: PricewaterhouseCoopers 654.38+06 million RMB/year, plus travel subsidies and bonuses, may reach 654.38+03 million RMB/year, and those who often work outside may be close to 654.38+06 million RMB/year, and the other three are slightly higher than PricewaterhouseCoopers. The salary of consulting post is a little higher than that of auditing post. As your working hours increase, your salary will increase gradually. If you become a partner, the salary will be incalculable, and the annual salary of one million is very common among the four major partners.

Second, domestic accounting firms.

The salary of domestic accounting firms, which account for the majority of the industry, is indeed slightly lower than that of the "Big Four", but some of them earn 250,000-350,000 yuan a year after working for a few years. In terms of work intensity, the pressure of domestic-funded institutes is lower than that of "Big Four".

Third, large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises.

Generally speaking, the starting salary of domestic enterprise finance is not very high. Generally, the starting salary in the first year after graduation is 50,000-80,000 yuan, but if you become a financial controller or manager, the annual salary can reach 300,000 yuan. For those with ACCA qualifications, the career development will be very fast and the salary increase will be great. ACCA's employment prospects are considerable.

Fourth, some large foreign companies have high employee benefits.

The wages of foreign companies are not necessarily higher than those of investment banks and consulting companies, but fortunately, their job responsibilities are clear, and their personal training and future diversity far exceed those of investment banks and consulting companies, which is very beneficial to their future business work. Moreover, the work intensity of foreign companies is generally much lower than that of investment banks, and there are many training opportunities attached, which can be said to be very cost-effective.

The reference salary of some large foreign companies (which often varies greatly among different departments, depending on the higher salary in the first year): P&G Marketing or Finance Department 70,000-65,438+10,000 RMB/year, Maersk 65,438+10,000-200,000 RMB, and Mars10.2 million RMB. Johnson & Johnson and Unilever are slightly lower than P&G. ..

Verb (abbreviation of verb) foreign commercial bank or universal bank

Such as ABN Amro, Industrial Bank, HSBC and Buckley Bank, the gap between their investment banks and commercial banks is not big, but the salaries of various departments are different, but they are often much higher than ordinary consumer banks and insurance positions. In any case, these foreign universal banks give people more comprehensive training than investment banks, and the probability of switching between departments is greater, so the future may not be as good as investment banks or consulting companies.

The reference salary of universal banks abroad: the investment banking position can reach 400,000-800,000 RMB/year, the commercial banking position can reach 70-/kloc-0,000/20,000 RMB/year, and the good position may reach 200,000 RMB/year.

Intransitive verb foreign investment bank

In particular, first-class overseas investment banks such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup Global Investment Bank, Lehman Brothers, Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse First Boston and ubs warburg all have representative offices or branches in China. Graduates recruited by domestic investment banks work in different places, such as Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Beijing and Shanghai.

Investment bank's reference salary (in the first year of postgraduate study, undergraduate students may be slightly lower): 900,000 RMB/year for Goldman Sachs Tokyo, 750,000 RMB/year for Germany Asia Pacific and 250,000 RMB/year for Morgan Stanley Beijing (year-end dividends are counted separately).

Seven, joint ventures or Chinese investment banks

Including CICC and Gaohua Securities, BOC International is barely one. In fact, CICC is equivalent to Morgan Stanley's China branch, and the salary is extremely high. Gao Hua is equivalent to the China branch of Goldman Sachs, which was established shortly and has an uncertain future. Wages can refer to foreign investment banks, which are generally slightly lower.

Eight. Foreign consulting company

In particular, McKinsey, Bain, Boston Consulting Group, Morit Group, Mercer, Eisenzhe and other overseas first-class consulting companies can be divided into management consulting, investment consulting, human resources consulting, market consulting, technical consulting and other sectors. The salary gap of consulting companies is relatively large, but you can get a big salary increase after working for 3-5 years, and the salary of senior consultants is not less than that of investment bankers.

Reference salaries of consulting companies: McKinsey and Bain 1 .5,000-0.2,000 RMB/year, roland berger110,000 RMB \ year, and the rest are in between. The salary will increase by 100% in the second year and by 50%- 100% in the third year. After three to four years, the annual salary can generally exceed 500,000 RMB.

The starting salary of these companies that prefer ACCA will give you a reference and work hard towards these goals!

ACCA preparation

1, do more, practice more and think more.

No matter what the exam is, in addition to listening to the teacher carefully, the focus of knowledge consolidation is still inseparable from doing more questions and practicing more. The cycle of doing problems is not a week or a month, but it is necessary to insist on doing problems every day. Only by insisting on doing the questions every day can the whole person become numb and answer the questions more easily. In addition, you should learn to think more when you do the questions, and further consolidate the knowledge points.

2, pay attention to the specification

As the saying goes, "details determine success or failure" is also a truth in exams. Most candidates often lose points because they don't pay attention to the answer specification and don't answer according to the standard. Unfortunately, only one point can't meet the qualified standard, which probably comes from the nonstandard answer.

Therefore, candidates should also be strict with themselves in their daily exercises, do well according to the norms, and reduce the possibility of being deducted.

3. Review the basics before the exam

One or two weeks before the exam, we still don't want to do difficult questions. If we try to overcome these problems in such a short time, we will not get any benefits. Therefore, a few days before the exam, I suggest you return to the basic knowledge points, review the basic topics, and understand the knowledge thoroughly.

4. Learn to summarize.

In the process of doing problems, we don't mean that the more problems we do, the better. When doing problems, you will inevitably encounter problems that you don't understand or do wrong. At this time, it is necessary to write down the wrong questions, analyze and summarize why you made mistakes, constantly improve yourself and strive to be the best.

How to prepare for the exam?

Adjust your mentality before the exam

A few days before the exam, it is not suitable for everyone to do too many questions. In order to have a good mental state to take the exam, candidates should adjust their mentality one week before the exam. If they feel stressed, they can go out and listen to music. Anyway, don't put too much pressure on yourself.

Moderate self-confidence and optimism

Before the exam, many candidates will have a kind of "anxiety before the exam", that is, they are worried that they will not do well in the exam, and they are very nervous. In this case, Bian Xiao suggested that everyone should let go, respond with an optimistic attitude and improve their self-confidence so as not to affect their examination status.

Work and rest time should be regular

Whether your mental state is good or not depends mainly on how well you rest. Therefore, it is very important to ensure the time and quality of sleep every day. Don't stay up late to review before the exam, which will only backfire and affect the exam status.
