Posted by affordableaccountant PM | on Thu, 19/05/2011 - 16:17  760  4 comments | report

Hi, I am thinking of starting in practice next year (Jan 2012). I am qualified ACA with limited tax experience. I am looking for someone who could mentor me. I am based in Essex.

For those who started out, how did you go about finding a mentor?

Hadn't everyone already told you not to buy sage as it's useless?! VT, tax calc and moneysoft are the choice of small practices.

Hi affordableaccountant (and bbc?)

Whilst I'm not a tax expert etc, I do mentor accountants who're considering whether/how to set up in practice.

As a CIMA accountant with no previous practice exprience, I learnt the hard way about setting up in business, and now I like to help others in a similar posiition avoid a few of the pitfalls I met along the way!

I'm very happy to have a chat if that's of interest?
