Hi,
Recently i have got MAAT Status. I have a break of 7 years and no UK experience. Sage 50 and Xero certified. WIth no experience in UK i am finding it difficult to find opportunities at the moment. Can anyone guide me on this? I cannot work for free as i have a child to look after and cannot afford his day care. Any help is much appreciated. If anyone come across any vacancy please let me know.

    Hi Aparna,
    Congrats on achieving MAAT. I am also in the same situation. On a long career break and have overseas accounting experience, none in UK.
    May I ask you what was your work profile before you took career break?
    How long have you been trying to find a Job in UK after completing level 3?

    I have four years of experience in AP in my home country. Tried applying for AP jobs from last year, no response so far. I am studying AAT level 3, hoping to find a job after course completion.
