Double Exit

Deciding to get into the world of accountancy and choosing between the different paths (e.g. which qualification, practice or industry, big firm or small firm, work area) can be a stressful time for people. This not only applies to those studying in directly relevant degrees (e.g. accounting, business) but even more so for those who are interested in accountancy as a possible career path but are maybe from non-traditional degrees or are experienced in the workplace and are looking for a career change.

I am part of a team of volunteers that have launched Cruncher.ie for just those people. Cruncher was created by a group of people who are passionate about the accounting profession and who want to share good, insightful advice with people thinking about training as accountants. Some of us are accountants who are DELIGHTED to be accountants. Some of us are accountants who should NEVER have become accountants. Some of us are not accountants who should ABSOLUTELY have trained as accountants. What we all have in common is the wish to give great, impartial advice to graduates and others at a critical time – advice we wished we had received.

Cruncher is an experiment – an information experiment. An experiment that will be a resounding success if it helps just one of you make a better decision for your future.

So if you know anyone considering accountancy as a career path, make sure you direct them to Cruncher.ie for an independent source of good, comprehensive accountancy career advice.
