Understanding Different Routes in Accountancy Careers

This 30-minute webinar explains different career routes within accountancy, contrasting practice (audit/accounting firms) with industry (in-house finance roles). The session will cover how professional experience varies by sector, the kinds of responsibilities you can expect in different finance roles, and practical considerations when choosing a career path in accountancy.

The talk is delivered by Eleanor Waite, an ACA-qualified tutor with experience in audit, valuations, investor reporting and portfolio accounting, who will draw on both practice and industry experience to illustrate real-world differences. The event is an online Zoom meeting and will be recorded; participants will receive a confirmation email with the Zoom link and reminder emails two days and two hours before the session.

The webinar is suitable for Kaplan apprentices, Kaplan UK students, Kaplan staff and employers. Registration is via Eventbrite; places are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Images of participants will not be captured on the recording and the session will be run with one-way video/audio from the hosts.
