These exams will build upon the knowledge you already have and will have you develop broad and practical finance qualities required of strategic professional accountants in any sector or industry. These skills can open doors to roles such as finance trainee, trainee business analyst, junior accountant and internal auditor.
The final level of the ACCA Qualification towards ACCA membership, these exams will equip you with a unique blend of skills, real-world focus and specialisation options to super-charge your career and impress employers.
You’ll unlock the widest number of career opportunities and the ACCA mark of distinction that lets you drive your career to greater success. It could lead to very senior positions such as a financial manager, chief financial officer or a partner in a professional firm.
