Thanks T - that's an idea - I have worked with them already for CPD Couses

I attended Alan Moore Conference today (I go every year). An interesting obversation: spoke to 4 people I never met before 2 men in practice - neither hold a practicing cert and are not aligned to any accountancy body. 2 Females in Industry - both qualified and members of an accountancy body.

@Jim2007 - Of Course, I couldn't agree with you more. However, there should be consistency but I do understand that regulation is getting more challenging. Having said that, I think there is a gap in the pathway of moving from industry to practice and also the professional organisation should...

@cremeegg - Thank you for your response. I am aware that if I forget about the CPA there is nothing to stop me operating as an "Accountant" which all seems very wrong in my view. I have gone through the steps and have the experience but just didn't formalise it in the past as I didn't have any...

@RedOnion - thanks for your prompt response. I have been in contact and they are the ones saying I need to get experience in the area I want to practice!! What is frustrating is that I am aware of others with less experience getting their practice certs but it appears to be getting more...

Just throwing this out there - Are there any accountants out there that I could shadow or who would take me under their wing to mentor me and supervise my work with a view to signing off on experience should it be satisfactory? In return, I can offer to do some accounts/book-keeping hours. I...

Looking for recommendations - I'm looking to get Professional Indemnity Insurance for P/T work as a Bookkeeper - startup business with income less than €5,000. Also if anyone knows I would appreciate pointers in terms of how much I should expect to pay.

@RedOnion - just wondering if there are many upgrades or how often there are upgrades

Thanks for the responses - SumUp sounds ideal - I did sign up a few years ago and got an account setup. However, apparently now the card reader is obsolete and they need another €39 to upgrade LOL - there possibly isn't any monthly charges but if the card reader need changing regularly it...

If this is the wrong thread I apologise - Please advise Query Re Small/PT Business: Has anyone any ideas of the most economical way to accept credit card payments for a small p/t business.

@RedOnion - Thanks for your post. Do you think if I get professional indemnity that I can work away without a practicing cert provided my income remains low - my income will be less than €5,000 - less than €1,000 even maybe :)

@Jim2007 - I mean that you don't have to be an accountant to setup and do book-keeping and simple returns to Revenue - yet a Qualified Accountant cannot do it without a practicing cert

@ Redone - Thanks :) I know but not sure if that's a good idea either - It would save me a lot of money though!!! but getting back in again if I needed my qualifications could be an issue and more hassle than it's worth

Thanks - it's seems so unfair especially when anyone can do this type of work!! Thanks for your help

Enquiry for a friend: I'm not lucky enough to be pregnant ;) She was on unemployment benefit/Job Seekers and now she is on an Employment Training Course with Solas (I think that is what they are called). She is due a baby in November What Maternity Benefit is she entitled to and what forms...

Professional Body as far as I understand in order to Practice as an "Accountant" one needs a Practicing Cert but I'm not really practicing as an Accountant - more a book keeper really I'd say!! OK on the Username :) How can I change my Username?
