Although I am a regular reader of the forum, this is my first post …… so please be gentle with me lol.
I have been working in the Financial Services sector for the past seven years and have recently started my ACCA. I have my MAAT and I am currently working as an assistant management accountant. I am happy in my current position but feel that I need to gain experience elsewhere to help me progress.
I am looking for a part time voluntary position, to help me gain some practical experience in self-employment and small business accounts. I am willing to work of an evening and happy to work at the weekend, so I am fairly flexible.
Does anyone know how I can go about this or better still, lead me in the right direction?
Any advice/comments are much appreciated.

Hi
Type your town or post code into the following website:
http://find.icaew.com/
to get a list of all the chartered firms of accountants in your area and start e-mailing out your CV and requirements. It is a numbers game to be honest, the more you apply to the more chance you have of getting the experience you want.
It might be sensible to start e-mailing from 2nd week of February onwards (as in January practice accountants are busy with tax returns and during the 1st week of February they are recovering).
Hope that helps0 -
Good morning……….
Thank you so much- I think this would be the best approach for me to take.
I have a list of practices I will contact (from the link you provided) in mid-Feb, fingers crossed something comes up soon.
Have a great weekend!
Thanks again!0
