Candidate attorneys or article clerks in the legal field earn R3500 per month. Of all trainees in all fields.... CA article clerks are ahead. Consider yourself lucky lady. By the way lawyers complete 4 years degree, and 2 year articles and board ewams, I think about 5. After admission they still earn around R6000 per month. At most I've seen R15 000. I know a newly qualified CA can earn R650K per annum.

[@mrstile5345]

That's hectic hey. But with candidate attorneys there is a wide gap depending on where you doing your articles. My husband did his articles at a Big 4 law firm, he definitely earned way more than your examples and way more than what I earned during my articles. I do agree with the point you driving home, articles money is article money, we just need to endure.

You need a BCom in Accounting degree which is 3 years, 1 year for honours degree and 3 years for training articles in which during those 3 years of articles you must write and pass 2 board exams. So it takes you a total of 7 years to qualify as a Chartered Accountant.

@@mrstile5345 okay thanks ❤️ And would you recommend this? Knowing how challenging the course will be...

[@mrstile5345]

Yes I would. If you determined you can do it. Circumstances are not the same, some people work throughout their degree and still make it

[@asandambatha8489]

Are which subjects you chose in high skool in important in the process of being a CA

[@mrstile5345]

You can do either sciences or commerce. I chose commerce subjects with pure maths. It's better to do pure maths than maths literacy but universities do now accept people with maths literacy but entry requirements are higher.

Hi Mrs Tile I'm a second year in cost and management accounting I would like to know the way forward for me if I want to do CA

[@mrstile5345]

After your diploma, you can enrol for the advance diploma in accounting in Unisa. When you pass it, you qualify for Accounting Honours and thereafter you can do your accounting training articles and write board exams.

Chartered Accountant is a global profession. You can look up the study requirements in your specific country.

HI am currently doing my first year and am really inspired by your work i want to know is it possible becoming a CA while doing bcom accounting extended and how long will it take

[@mrstile5345]

Hi. Thank you. Yes it possible. It's extended by 1 year so it will take 8 years instead of 7.

Im in grade 12 and I've applied for bcom acc in varsities and ive been accepted but now I'm not quite sure I love maths and I've always loved accounting and i do good in both of them but i get level 6 or 7s but with those marks im not sure if I'm going to be able to survive in varsity since it's harder there so like what would be your advice, do you think I'll make it in varsity and continue with accounting

[@mrstile5345]

Those are good marks. Shows your hard work. You will definitely do well in varsity! Go there with confidence, not self doubt 😊

[@siyolisebam2121]

Great insightful video. Dont you know of any Trainee or qualified CA who can mentor a CTA candidate? I am not copying mentally. PLease help.

Hi there. I don't know any who gave expressed that they looking for mentees. All the best

[@samkelojmagudulela2576]

Would you advice for or against starting your articles while in your second year with a medium sized auditing firm like Moore?

[@mrstile5345]

I would support that decision as it is usually circumstantial. Some people do need to work while studying. However, if it is not a need per se I would say study full time.

[@samkelojmagudulela2576]

@@mrstile5345 Thank you for the advice. I am in my first year and the workload is quite little and since we are doing an online form of study we have too much time on our hands. I thought it would be beneficial to go into the industry maybe next year but I will consider what you have said.

[@mrstile5345]

The workload here heavier each year. So if there is no financial urgency to work, I would suggest you just focus on studies. At some point you will see, you will feel like you have no time at all in a day.

[@luyoloanga1036]

i am currently doing diploma in internal auditing second year and i am interested in CA, can you please explain the steps on taking CA route.

[@mrstile5345]

Next you can apply for an Advanced Diploma in Accounting at Unisa. Then you will do Accounting honours afterwards and continue to articles.

I am in grade 11,i love numbers hey, like I can deal with them, than theory, but wow am lazy like nobody's business. I don't know which career should I take but I want something with accounting or maths. Please advice me

[@mrstile5345]

You have to stop accepting laziness as who you are and start working hard. Google prospectus' of different universities and see what options are available for you aligned to your interests. Find something you are passionate about 😊

[@kaylavandermerwe9300]

Hi Mrs Tile... Does the university you go to play a big role in which auditing companies will be interested in you is does where you do your articles make the biggest impact?

[@mrstile5345]

Audit firms prefer their trainees to be from diverse backgrounds. So all students from different universities have a fair chance

[@kegaogetswemafogo3882]

Hello Mrs Tile.. I'm currently in matric and I was wondering if it was possible to become a chartered accountant even if I don't get very high marks for maths and accounting?

[@mrstile5345]

Hi there. It's possible. As long as you get 60% and above in maths and English as that is the minimum requirement

[@mrstile5345]

Accounting and other subjects count towards the calculation of university entrance points, they are not assessed individually. Of cause the better you do in all the subjects they better your chances of acceptance are but yes its possible 😊

[@kegaogetswemafogo3882]

Thank you so much for your honesty🌼. I will work very hard to increase my marks significantly.

[@mrstile5345]

All the best 😊
