Your first step would be to do an accountant techcians course such as CAT. Then you can either do a degree and be a qualified but not a chartered accountant or do the ACCA or CIMA.

i have finished the irish version of the accounting technicans course and it took me 2 years to complete the exams and i am currently working my way towards the required 2 years work experience before i can become a member. The techicans exams allow you to skip the first year of any accountancy degree and the professional exams. Definately worth doing. From the level you are in, get to an accounts school, start from level 1 get CPA 1 , CPA II, upto CPA III Section VI Certificates.

After doing those papers you will be in the highest qualified accountant cadre.

You can actually go to uni. From what I can see you are a mature student so you could be accepted onto an accountancy degree with your relevant work history.

You don’t need to go to Uni. You could actually go along the AAT route (Association of Accounting Technicians) like I did. This course is done at college, part time, over 2-3 years. You then get exemptions from your professional exams.(ACA/ACCA/CIMA). Some employers will support you in getting these qualifications (mine does) or you can do it at night class.

go to uni and do a 4 year honors degree in accountancy, but this does not mean u will be a qualified accountant. my boyfriend has an honours degree in accountancy but he said he had to do a further qualification to be quailified
