I know we have a few accountants on here so would appreciate some help. I'm looking to start the AAT qualification in September - mainly for interest and also dh and I are in the process of setting up our own business. I'm always up for a challenge so am looking at how far I can take this if I really enjoy it.
So can anyone tell me - do you enjoy accountancy and what areas do you work in. Also do you think there would be a bias against 'older' people who retrain in this. We know now their can't be (!) but in the real world would it be difficult to get the practical experience as a more mature student.
Would also be interested to hear from people who hate accountancy as want to go in with my eyes open.
Thanks in advance
