Hi,
I am a newly qualified CIMA member and have gained 5 years pre qualified experience working in the Pharmaceutical industry. I would really like to pursue a career in practice with a long term view to run my own practice.
How likely am i to be able to get a job working in an accountancy firm if i am CIMA qualified and not ACA or ACCA qualified?
Thank you

Thank you for your enquiry.
The market is very competitive at the moment and it is client driven. Clients are looking for perfect matches for their roles and for candidates with strong transferable skills or who have worked in similar environments. It is difficult for candidates to get roles in practice if they have worked in industry for 2 years or more. I think you will find it difficult but it is definitely worth a try.
If you want advice on how best to put together your CV please give me a call on 0207 747 9754.
Regards
Ewa

When is the best time to make the career move from accountancy practice to banking/private equity?
Is it immediately after qualifying or after promotion to manager?
Many thanks
