Any accountants in the house?

I have some contacts in one of the bigger second tier firms in London if you're interested. No guarantees but worth a shot.

PM me your email address.

Indeed. You can count that guy's coherent posts on the fingers of one hand - and still have enough left to hold an espresso cup....

How about taking a re-sit to get in with the required grades ?

Or go for AAT and the CIMA route rather than be an Auditor at the big 4 - they do work you like a dogsbody.

I'm a CIMA qualified, many many years ago at the age of 23.

Agreed with re-sit. If it was a bad day, worth trying to up the grades and get what you want.

It's tricky to think of somewhere who would hire someone in your position - mostly because there is such a demand for graduates that they can be particularly choosy and take people with degrees. I think you may have to do quite a bit of research and find local firms who may train you.

I also agree with you about getting in the door - I had the same. I have an otherwise good CV (if I say so myself) but sadly wasn't ACA qualified as I was fired from a big 4 when double failing my final exam, which was a bit of a blight when looking for another role. My subsequent 3 jobs (I moved a couple of times until I found what I wanted) have all said how well I interviewed.

A couple of potentially useful links:

Even the yellow pages isn't such a stupid idea.

ACA is an excellent qualification, but also look at CIMA (can be studied anywhere) and ACCA. ACA needs to be studied at an accredited institution.
