Accountancy Ireland’s Post

In this article below I wrote for Accountancy Ireland, I talk about the importance of starting your study regime early. This will be useful for all students starting their CAP One or CAP Two journey in the coming weeks.

“I would advise any Chartered Accountants curious about academia to investigate more.” The world of academia is crying out for accountants who can teach valuable skills to students based on real-world experience, writes Dr. Neil Dunne, FCA, Programme Director and Assistant Professor in Accounting at Trinity Business School, Trinity College Dublin.

Discover the Game-Changer: 🔍 Marginal Gains Theory 📈 Intrigued by Manchester United's embrace of Sir Dave Brailsford's 'marginal gains' mantra? ✨ It's not just elite sports that can harness this potent strategy - as accountancy students, the same philosophy could be your key to unlocking exam success. 🎓 Picture this: rather than overhauling your entire study regimen, you implement tiny, but meaningful improvements - be it honing in on common test questions, refining time management methods, or mastering that one complex topic. 🧠 A 1% enhancement here, another there, and soon those minutiae coalesce into significant leaps forward. It's a method that transcends job titles and sectors, extending to professionals at every level. As an experienced recruiter in the finance landscape, I've seen it first-hand: those who commit to consistent, incremental progress not only advance in their careers but often outshine the competition. 🚀 In a candid discussion in PQ magazine's March issue, ACCA's Jacky Bateman and James Patrick delve into applying marginal gains to exam preparation. But why stop there? Apply the same principle to your daily work, and watch as the benefits multiply. 📊 Remember, transformative change is the sum of small, persistent steps. Embrace marginal gains, and you could be the next rising star in accountancy and finance. 💼🌟 Lots of books have been written to support this, including Atomic Habits by James Clear #MarginalGains #Accountancy #CareerSuccess #gamechanger

Staying motivated is a challenge, even for the most committed accountancy students. That’s why we’ve pulled together our 5 top tips will help you to boost your motivation. 🏆 These should help you stay on top of your studies and build momentum throughout your journey.

Instead of focusing on stipend increases and other miscellaneous issues, students should strive to "Qualify Within Articles." The current ICAP stipend of 84.7K is already very attractive and is expected to exceed 100K in the coming years, making it financially rewarding. Furthermore, passing all exams during the articles period is a significant achievement. Students can pass all eight CA Final exams within 3-4 attempts. However, they need to maintain a strict balance between their studies and practical work to be regarded as mature and practically sound Chartered Accountants.
