Accounting Pathway?

gemma89

So I have completed my Business Management degree with 2:2. I have completed level 2 book keeping and now considering enrolling on Level 3 accounts. I am also thinking about Msc Finance but struggling to see which is the best for long term. Also I hear about ACCA and other options.

I am in a role as accounts assistant and have the opportunity to learn all about the accounts of the business (small team) but I want to focus on more of a business advisor / analysis of figures role - So I definitely know I want to work in industry, I have no interest in being self employed so which pathway should I choose career wise. I am 30 years old so don't want to be studying forever and want a more serious position with more money. I currently earn 19k per year.
