TraineeAccountant.com is a free guide for people starting out in accountancy in the UK. We explain the main routes, set out fees, pay and exam facts from their original sources, and share practical tips.
What we are, and what we are not
- We are an independent information guide. Our guides are written by the TraineeAccountant.com team.
- We are not affiliated with any professional body. We name AAT, ACCA, ICAEW and CIMA only to describe their qualifications, and we link to each body's own website. We use no body's logo.
- We are not an accountancy firm. We do not give tax, accounting or financial advice, and nothing here is a recommendation of a course, employer or product.
- We are not a recruiter or an agency. We do not list jobs or take applications.
- General information only, not professional or financial advice.
How we check our figures
- Every fee, salary or exam figure has a link to the body's own page or to national statistics (such as the Office for National Statistics) and the date we checked it. See Sources and checks.
- If we cannot verify a number, we leave it out. For example, we do not publish CIMA exam fees because we could not verify them from CIMA's own pages.
- Fees and rules change. Always confirm on the body's own page before you pay.
Corrections and contact
If you spot a mistake, please tell us and we will check it against the source. Email info@traineeaccountant.com. We read every message, but we can't give personal advice about your training, exams, tax or career, and we're not a recruiter.
