I have been working in Property Management for close to 8 years now. In that time I have become quite familiar with not just the day to day accounting and financial reporting but also the various Statutory guidelines as well as (ACCA, RICS, ARMA) best practice guidelines, provided/ advised clients on accounting issues, interacted and learnt quite a lot from/ but also advised some of the Certified Accountants, Semi Seniors etc not familiar with Service Charge Accounts on preparing Certified reports for clients.
In the 8 years I have tried so hard to get an accounts role in main stream accounting for the simple reason I have found it so hard to get someone sign off my ACCA practical experience. I would love to work for myself someday, and one option I have considered is as a client accountant specialising in property. However this means getting all my practical experience signed off to obtaining a practice certificate in future.
Please any advise/ suggestions how I could possibly get my work experience signed, I would like to hear from (network) other Service Accountants as well.
Thanks

Many of the PERs are not specific to Accountants in practice. Which PERs are you having difficulty with?
