I am a qualified AAT (2001) together with a few other similar level accounting quals. My most recent assignments were in Internal Audit with a big 4 & a top 20 firm. Due to Regulatory changes in Sarbanes Oxley, I have been made redundant in March. Since then I have been completing the AAT Bookkeeping Certificate Course, Excel NVQ level 3, and Sage Line 50, so that I may return to an accounting role working as part of a team on a salary range of between £20 to £25K, I am interested in either practice, commerce or the accounts office of a legal firm (they always request legal accts experience?) What areas do you suggest? What challenges / difficulties will I face to get back into work?

It's very difficult to say with the limited information you've provided, though junior roles for individuals with this sort of experience are not in abundance within Public Practice. Internal Audit candidates are always in demand and the most likely avenue for you to pursue should be within the commercial sector where the demand is greatest.
I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck.

I am a recently qualified accountant (ACA). I trained working for a large audit firm. I have a Multimedia systems degree and three As at A Levels. My degree covered diverse areas from animation to web and database design, although I limited programming experience. I am looking for a career change. I was wondering if financial software companies take on accountants as trainee developers?
