Newly Qualified ACAs – Exciting Times Ahead!

Whether you have recently qualified or are due to qualify shortly, you are now at the most exciting stage of your career to date.

Considering all the time and effort you put in to your studies, it makes sense to approach planning your career in the same way, to ensure that you take full advantage of all the opportunities available to you.

Morgan McKinley’s consultants are experts in helping you to plan your career. They know your industry inside out and are perfectly placed to offer you all the advice and guidance you need. They’re just a quick phone call away, ready to help you make the career choices that will reap the benefits of all your hard work.
 

So what are your options?

As a newly qualified ACA you have an exceptionally broad range of career options available to you. You can look for exciting roles in areas like:

• Banking & Financial Services
• Commerce & Industry
• Insurance
• Public Practice
• Tax

Choosing which area to specialise in isn’t always easy. The route you choose now may limit what areas you have open to you in the future, so it’s very important to get it right from the outset.

That’s where we come in. Our dedicated consultants can help you make the right decision, explaining the long term career paths of each area and outlining what you can expect from your career in the long run in terms of salary, promotion, opportunity to travel and working abroad.

Once you have chosen your area of specialisation, you will need to decide which organisations you would most like to work for. Our consultants can talk you through the different types of clients they recruit for, from large multinationals and financial institutions to medium and smaller businesses, and help you decide which type of company would be the best fit for you. When choosing companies you’d like to work for, it might be helpful to consider factors like:
 

• Reputation
• Location
• Size
• Culture
• Salary Package

Think carefully about what you want from your career, what drives you, and what type of organisation would best suit your future goals.
