Can either be started later on in life?

[@team_astranti]

Of course! Many mature students are on our CIMA and ACCA courses, and have decided they want to be accountants later in life! However, the earlier you start, the quicker you're likely to progress in your career.

In your opinion which is the best route to follow to become a Tax advisor

[@team_astranti]

Hi Steve, for specific roles like this, especially relating to tax, ACCA is probably your best shout. CIMA is very much focused on producing management accountants, and tax is not a subject covered as thoroughly as it is in the ACCA syllabus.

Which one offers more job opportunities?

[@team_astranti]

Both are amazing qualifications to have, with many job opportunities, so it's very hard to say. If you want to become a management accountant, CIMA is more suited. However, if you wanted to work for the big 4 in auditing, etc, then we'd suggest ACCA. I hope this helps!

Have both acca & cima!! ?

[@team_astranti]

We do courses mainly for CIMA. However, we are currently offering courses on the ACCA SBL exam and looking to expand in the future.
