Revealing my ACCOUNTANT Salary // How Much Do Accountants Make in UK

[@JayStiqs]

That's incredible. I haven't watched your videos in a while. 3x increase in 3 years. Thats something else!!!

[@lindalind514]

Best part of this video is how many times Ela said she is grateful. Being grateful keeps more good things coming

[@lotsofsweets]

Seriously impressive Ela- been following you since we were both at university and you’ve progressed super fast, good luck

[@k_a47]

Ela, your progression....wonderful. hoping your new role is amazing. I am far from an accountant but rooting for you! Congrats!

I've just started my ACCA journey and I can tell you for free that your videos have increased my determination to do my best and work harder 😊 Thank you ❤

[@sr-lu2sc]

Thanks for sharing! Most consider it taboo to share salary info 😁

[@Streetorvintage]

No probs! 😁

[@realkliment]

Interesting video! If you could find a way to increase the sound volume it will be perfect! But so happy for your progress, hope the message gets to most people that it's worth finding a place where one is valued more.

[@ninjaninja9954]

I am 40 years old and make £105k salary as a software engineer. Fully remote and chill company. Wondering if I should push it and try for an increase. I'm at the top of the pile and if I move I probably look for £120k+ jobs which do exist but are rare I think

[@mektrode]

The double tax whammy (~60%) between £100k and £125k will eat away any meaningful raise in that range, unless you can get something in the ~£135k+ range its not worth the hassle imo. Instead focus on building other sources of revenue since you've pretty much maxed out the Tech ladder. Build indie apps solving niche problems or create content (blogs, newsletters or maybe even video/short-form or YT)

[@J_h-3ik]

Even with a 60% effective tax rate, you're still better off with more money..

[@zooniekhan3082]

I am in the same situation but stuck at 55k. How do I get to 100k plus in software

[@iisdashik]

@@mektrode just chug the extra into pension, its super cheap pension at that range

[@porschecarreras992cabriole8]

Congratulations Ela, on all your achievements and success at this stage in your chosen career, and at such a young age! 🤩 You've clearly worked very hard in your education, and been very strategic and lucky too. More grease to your elbow. Wishing you bigger and better experiences as you progress ahead. ❤👏🥳

[@brosjay2131]

I'm not into accounting but somehow this video showed up when I loaded KZbin. I've just learned that continuous learning will really pay. Thank you Ela.

[@rah5500]

Jesus! I thought going from 16k to 40k in 5 years was an achievement, but tripling your salary in 5 years is insane! Congrats

Aw, well done Ela ❤

[@Streetorvintage]

Thank u girl ❤️

[@jonboy2950]

Well done on your journey and success. A lot of that is on you because you are obviously talented at your job and it was good of them to recognise this and want to retain you. And you are totally right, if you want job progression you basically have to go and get this yourself, no company will turn around and say, you are good at your job would you like more money.

Graduate, sweat it out with one of the big 4 and use them to sponsor ACCA (2-3 years), then watch the offers roll in. I know people who havent even been to Uni. Did the AAT, got a few exceptions and became ACCA fully qualified

[@Adaline-C]

Hey could you please tell me which route the people without a degree took. I hope you see this and respond!

[@MrDanielfff777]

I graduated with a degree in accounting and management in 2019 but wasn't able to find an accounting role. I would love to get into accounting but not sure how

[@poorvigatharmakulasingam1025]

Thanks for sharing your experience! Were you offered all the salary increases or did you bring up the conversation with your manager?

[@GnarshredProductions]

I am only a first year associate working at a local public accounting firm with no certifications other than a 4 year university degree in accounting in the United States and my yearly salary is $70,000. This equates to exactly 55,800 pounds in UK currency so I am very suprised at how low the starting salaries are in the UK.

[@ericl6386]

Uk salaries in general are way lower then in the US but the cost of living is also lower . If you want to make as much money as possible you are definitly better of in the US . Just look at the median salaries for physician in the UK and US it is around 100k in the UK and closer to 400k in the US and you can get way more depending on your specialty😅

[@tancreddehauteville764]

Salaries are much lower in the UK and Europe than in the US - this isn't a secret. The per capita income of the UK is just less than Mississippi. That tells you all you need to know.

[@motebangphalatsi9756]

Hi! m a new follower. came across your video as i was researching on moving to UK with my Certified Accounting Technician and a reasonable public service experience. any advice?

[@MM-vl3xn]

Hi, i am in that graduate position right now and studying for my exams. What tips do you have on adding value to the business and making yourself known to senior finance colleagues at this phase?

[@Ghost-un1ew]

This has been amazing information thank you for being open! Currently I'm an Assistant Accountant deciding on whether to do ACCA or CIMA. I know people generally consider ACCA harder and most say both qualifications are similar in weight but after being qualified for a few years what do you think? is the ACCA worth doing over CIMA for career progression or is it minor differences?

[@GaGaObession]

Depends if you’re keen on management accounting (CIMA) or more professional services / financial accounting (ACCA)

[@aliali-du6kd]

Hey , ik i am late, but can anyone suggest whether i should do a ACCA qualification or bachelors in finance/accounting

[@hexxon1665]

sorry if this is a stupid question but what are the hours like? im in college 2nd year rn doing btec in business and accounting and I really enjoy accounting, but like I don't want my entire life to be revolved around work so im not are if accounting is the right career for me if the hours are too high. I hope this made sense

[@Muzie24]

Hi I would like to something those figures you mention above in your video those salaries are per annual or per month. Thank you

[@michaelfurlonger5958]

[@SJ-cf7hb]

Hi Ela, Im currently applying for audit role at a big 4 studying ACA. I saw that you studied ACCA. Could you explain how the two qualifications differ in terms of the skills you gain and job opportunities? I am also aspiring to become a qualified chartered accountant

[@Me-jf7cd]

Hi Ela, I am 30yo Manager in Hospitality with a BSc in Economics and i am currently looking into accounting entry level positions. I have been applying but with 0 prior experience or relevant qualifications i dont think i have many chances. So my question is (If i may) would you suggest that i go for AAT or straight to ACCA? keep in mind please that i dont get any exceptions in ACCA because my university degree (Hons) is Greek not British but i have full access to funds for masters etc. I know that ACCA is harder and takes more time plus i have to work full time 42+ hours a week to pay my bills. Thank you.

[@mauromoreira3455]

Hi Ela. I haven’t got a degree, I left school 20 years. I’m looking for a new career, and I have been looking at ACA and CIMA. Seems like CIMA can be a better fit for me. Do you have any suggestions? Can I have a good career and salary with CiMA qualification but no degree? Thank you

[@GazerBeam-1]

😂😂😂 too late.. ur time is done

[@Naveed_Ali_Apollo]

I'm currently doing ACCA, and I'm really interested in thigs like python, math and finance, I would love to do a master's in business analytics and specialize in Finance or a master's in data science after ACCA, would you recommend something like this? And given my interest which field would you recommend I should work in? Audit? Financial Advisory? etc?

[@wasteman3259]

Why would u even start ACCA then

Hello Ela. I hope you’re doing well. I recently subscribed to your channel, and I must say, your video was incredibly motivating. I’m currently pursuing a BA in Accounting and Finance degree in London (LSBU) and working part-time as an assistant accountant at a small firm. I would really really appreciate it if you could spare just 10 minutes of your time so I can ask a couple of quick questions. Your professional and experienced thoughts and guidance would be help me a lot in future. Thank you

[@joashfinance]

Hi Ela, how can l reach out to you for a personal mentorship please

[@franciscofredericci4081]

Hey everyone :) May I ask how / what to invest in and make steady long-term money

[@TheUntitledMisc]

Index funds, is the way to start if you do not have enough for property. A stable home is the most important to relieve 80% of stress on year to year moving. Not financial advice but I suggest S&P500 and FTSE100 on a monthly basis. For the average person who doesn’t pay attention to every financial news etc, just stick to these 2 over 20+ years. £200 a month if you can afford it is a good start. Any less than that then probably better just to open an ISA saving account.

[@franciscofredericci4081]

@TheUntitledMisc - Thank you much appreciated :)
