I live in the UAE, and I have just finished by Bachelors in Finance, however, I am condsidering doing ACCA and then later on doing an MBA in Finance. Is it a wise go?? Or should I do an MBA and then maybe an ACCA??On the other side, I do not have much working experience (less than a year).Please advise...
The regional manager of WH Marks Sattin Middle East replied:
Dear Sir / Madam
Most good MBAs won't let you join until you have had five years working experience, so although there are work arounds, I would avoid them. The ACCA is an accounting qualification and it is wise to complete this as early as possible combining it with valid accounting experience. After that I would consider the MBA, but for the right reasons only. Doing an MBA is fantastic for personal development, but it is not a qualification. Many people take it as a passport to a new career, but it is merely there to sharpen and develop already existing business skills. Bear in mind they are expensive and time consuming, but really do make people think about and go about business better.
All the best

Big 4 ACA Manager
I am a Manager in the Internal Audit/Risk Management department for a Big 4 firm (with FS focus). I do have prior experience in financial audit while I was studying for the ACA qualification.
Currently planning on a career change into Equity Research and with greater focus in financial analysis and away from the risk and controls work.
What are the current prospects in the market and what level should I aim to enter.
Appreciate any advice
