I am thinking of re-joining the ICB, joined in 2008 (i think) as an asscoicate member with Level 2 computerised but due to family comitments decided not to pursue it as a business.
I am now thinking of re-joining and relise that memberhip has changed since 2008 and you now need to take manual exams to get practice certificate, which i belive is a good thing.
I do have many years experience doing bookkeeping and have an H.N.D in Business and Finance so i'm not a complete newbie.
My aim is to initially get to Level 2 and take the additional option of doing the Self-Assessment modual and get my practice licence, is that possible?
I also intend to self study, at least as far as the above is concerned but I would want to take it further in the future and would probably look at a home study course for level 3 and beyond.
My goal is to offer bookkeeping, Final accounts for sole traders, vat returns and self-assessment returns, mainly for one particular sector which i am currently invlovded in and have contacts with, it is trade related and i already do all my own accounts and self-assessment so I will able to relate to these businesses / traders on a personal level.
From the above does that sound feasabile and a realsitic goal to acheive in a relatively short space of time? I would then intend to take it further and progress to levels 3 and 4 in due course.
