I would like to say a big thanks for the video, I’m currently based in Ireland and studying to be an accountant. What I enjoyed the most is the fact that you gave an in depth review of the salaries in each of the countries and not just one.

I am interested in business entrepreneurship and Startups world. Doing bachelor is also 4 years and acca is also same same. And i thought that, i can gain financial or technical knowledge from acca and i will do mba after getting bachelor degree from OBU. It will also enhance in career. And how it would be, if i do acca in America? Please recommend me, please 🥺🥺❤

[@ThatMuslimLife]

Acca doesn’t have the best standing in America as they prefer cpa. But make sure you get good work experience as that will help you more

I am in final year of undergraduate degree in Finance and Accountancy from India with ACCA 9 Paper Exemption and cleared ACCA Professional exam SBL. Interested to study Masters in UK. What is your suggestion. Msc in Finance and Accountancy from Russel Group University Or MSc with ACCA pathway from BPP or Birmingham City University. Please Guide.

[@ThatMuslimLife]

Is your main aim to work in the uk after masters?

[@shaxriyoraxmedov01]

I have 9 papers of ACCA with no real working experience, so can I go to the UK or any high-paying countries? ( or may I work as an intern USA or UK) Thanks in advance

[@ThatMuslimLife]

It'd be difficult if I'm honest to get a work visa based off that. You would be going in for very junior level roles at that level of qualification. Once you've got some work experience it'd be a lot easier for firms to consider roles for you. The USA is extremely difficult to get roles at junior levels as they legally need to prove that no one in America can do the same job before hiring someone foreign.

What will be salary range in Canada after just completing ACCA qualifications?

[@ThatMuslimLife]

Id be careful to begin with if you’re moving there with acca, I don’t believe there’s a reciprocal agreement of the acca to local requirements so it’s not on the same level as local qualification.

[@Parasonicmedia]

@@ThatMuslimLife Hello bro, what would you say is the best qualification for CA in Canada

[@ThatMuslimLife]

@@Parasonicmedia i would focus on the Canadian CPA. Canada doesnt have a lot of MOU with ACCA. whilst you can get a good job with other accounting qualifications these will only be in very large companies as smaller ones wont know about ACCA

[@factvilla123]

If we do ACCA in uk after A level can we get a job.(It will be great if you reply)

[@ThatMuslimLife]

Yes you can get a job but i would make sure youre doing some form of accounting job whilst studying ACCA. Employers in the UK care a lot about work experience.

Yes massively - to do it you have to of course do it with an accounting firm and work for them as opposed to just doing exams.

[@xdrowssap4456]

@@ThatMuslimLife thank you! is ACCA or ICAEW better for being hired as a junior accountant?

[@ThatMuslimLife]

I get asked this question a lot (probably should make a video about it!) but I would say simply it depends on the work experience you’re getting. Having a qualification after 2 years with no work experience isn’t going to be great for you. With the ACA you HAVE to be with accredited training provider so by default you’ll receive work experience. Of course you can’t become a fully qualified accountant without work experience. Look at the company and their clients, see how much hands on experience you’ll get.

[@user-vc5th2qr4c]

Can ACCA get good jobs in Australia or US ? I mean compared to CPA US,AUS

[@ThatMuslimLife]

You wont be able to get the best jobs if you’re young. If you have lot of experience then you can use that to your advantage and compete with them. I will be releasing a video soon to help you with these question so do subscribe!

Whats the difference im confused

[@ThatMuslimLife]

Difference between what?

[@RealSavage7]

@ThatMuslimLife acca cpa .. a indian friend told me about being a chartered accountant but im based in the US. Im wondering about the differences and how they translate over to the US.

[@ThatMuslimLife]

Every country has their preferred qualification. Sometimes they'll accept foreign qualifications based on agreements between the accounting bodies but not always. It means you'll struggle to get jobs if you don't have the recognized qualification of the country (even if you're qualified in your home country). USA is pretty strict about their accountants needing CPA and vice versa Indian CA qualification is better if based in India

Honestly it wont be recognised as much as the CPA. You would have to work for a very very large company for them to even know what ACCA is. That being said, to become an ACCA member you need 3 years work experience and so that should be the thing that makes you stand out.

not necessarily. And you can also form your own auditing company where you can be responsible for what to look at and who you work with. All companies even Islamic companies are required to have auditors by law and so it would be great if theres more muslim auditors involved in this area.
