Kenneth Lee
Article Abstract:
Accountant Kenneth Lee decided to forego practice and work as a tutor for BPP because he found auditing too boring. He had no previous teaching experience, but he says that he has long been interested in lecturing. When he was in still in college, he made a habit of observing his teachers and he could see the mistakes they were making and began to appreciate the importance for tutors to understand the hardships that students are experiencing. Lee admits that teaching is a difficult job, with long and exhausting days. He says that tutors must always be enthusiastic no matter how tired or sick they are because many of the materials that they teach are dull, therefore it is up to the teacher to make them more interesting. Despite the challenges of the job, Lee claims that teaching entails less pressure than practice.

FRES: salaries in practice
Article Abstract:
The Federation of Recruitment and Employment Service (FRES) reports that there is still significant demand for qualified chartered accountants in industry, commerce and practice in the UK. Demand is greatest for candidates with a good examination record as well as all-round business skills. Although there is less demand at the more senior levels, the chances of being recruited for senior positions tend to be greater for those with specialist skills, such as in corporate finance, financial services or tax planning. FRES data indicate that salary levels for 1995 were lower than those in 1994. However, there is evidence showing salaries for the top 20 and small companies have actually increased. One factor driving the rise in salaries is the growing demand for recently-qualifieds.

That was brilliant! You really helped
Article Abstract:
Accountants have good prospects in the field of training. There is greater demand for tutors now that British companies are once again increasing the number of their annual recruits. A career in training is ideal for accountants who have a strong desire to teach, are newly qualified, possess technical and personal capabilities, have a good sense of humor, and can empathize with the plight of struggling trainees. The largest organizations in the UK that need accountant/trainers are The Financial Training Co., the Accountancy Tuition Centre and BPP. These training companies and others like them prefer to recruit people who have recently qualified as chartered accountants as tutors in chartered examination courses.
