Re: What is the best order to study the Level 3 units?
Hi anony123,
Thanks for your comment. I would say when a student can understand the double entry, ledgers (specially Vat transactions), it would help them to get better understanding in Tax process for Business.They would be more confident in answering AAT assessment questions.

Re: Any stories or advice from more mature members who managed to get into accounting in later life?
Hey Tom, I made the change and did my AAT well into my thirties. It took me six months and over 200 applications for entry level accounting roles before I got my first break. It was really disheartening at times but just keep at it. That was nearly 10 years ago now and I am just finishing setting up my own firm.Thanks for sharing that, been feeling down about it and wondering if it's me that's the problem! I'll just keep on going then and hopefully someone will give me a break sooner or later.
Re: Is it realistic to work remote and in a good position
Hi,
This is just my opinion so everyone will have their own.
There are jobs out there that still do offer fully working remotely from home and others offer hybrid where you have to come in the office 1 or more days in the office. Now working from home is great as it does allow flexibilty. So with regards to working from another country the things you would need to consider with any job is, firstly is it hybrid or fully working from home, hybrid means you would need to go in the office 1 or more days in the office now that can prove to be a challege if you are 100's of miles away. Also if they suddenly did require you to come in for an emergency work meeting etc, could you do make it in short notice, sometimes there might be a board meeting etc (this is just an example of the worst case scenario, employers do usually give a bit of notice) Secondly your location in the different country, do you have good internet and phone access (just incase they need to call you) in order to be able to complete your work, if not that could have an impact on you.
Hope this helps you.
Many thanks

Re: Passed AAT L2, how much of a step up is L3
My experience is from AQ2016, but I found the step up from Level 2 to 3 pretty OK.
Level 3 to 4 was a bit more of a step up though.
Hope this helps.

Re: Directors Loan and Dividends
Hi Vanessa, if the company pays him a dividend within 9 months of the year end to clear his DLA then there won't be any section 455 tax owed by the company (but it should still be declared on the CT600A). Additionally, If no interest was charged on the DLA, then a benefit in kind would arise on the director for the beneficial loan which would need to be declared on a P11D.

Do I have to do synoptic in AAT Level 3 (Q2022)?
I am currently doing an apprenticeship with Kaplan for the above qualification. The 4 modules for this level add up to 100%. I have been advised I have to do an additional exam for this level, a synoptic assessment.
My question is if the 4 modules add up to 100%, how much is the synoptic assessment really worth and do I really need to do it?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Re: Getting started self-employed as a bookkeeper
It may be an idea for you to have a chat with another licenced member on how they started and progressed being self employed.
Take a look at the AAT licenced members list for your area and contact them asking for advice etc.
