Lol, I've worked with probably 50 accountants which in this case I would say is sufficient and practically demonstrates a lack of prevalence.
Don't worry, you're not alone in believing that your life experience is more eclectic than it really is.
No. You're not talking to yourself.
Strange that I've come across this thread only now. I've been working in the IT sector since leaving college (at 19. Now 30!). About a year and a half ago I joined a firm as a Finance Systems Analyst. Been a great position for the most part. Have learned a lot during this time and am really enjoying working in/around finance... So much so that I recently secured another role (which I start next) as a Finance Systems Analyst lol.
As part of the package the new recruiter has agreed fund my AAT qualification and subsequent CIMA or ACCA qualification!
Didnt for one second ever see myself becoming a qualified account. Now I've spotted this thread I'll be keeping a close eye on it!
If you'll excuse me. I'm going to read this thread from start to current.
You will find AAT ridiculously easy (at least you should do). Don't expect that will carry on when you do the proper qualifications!!!![]()

Can you not start CIMA from scratch?
I did AAT and it gave me exemptions from the first 3 ACCA exams. I wish I'd have been able to just go straight into ACCA as AAT was pretty similar to A Level accounting.
I'm a fellow Finance Systems Analyst, who do you work for?![]()
We use Aderant Expert, I assume you also use it being a law firm?
I'm at an Insolvency practice so it's not quite perfect for our needs but it suits more than most we considered.
CIMA's website completely fell apart this morning and I still haven't received my e-mail yet....nevertheless I managed to login on my phone to see I have passed both so will be moving on to Strategic level in 2015![]()
