I have been following the forum for some months now, having joined the ICB as a student in January of this year.  I have just - yesterday - upgraded my membership to MICB.  I have now taken the payroll exam and am waiting for the results and will be taking the level IV exams in due course.  I have also been part qualified ACCA for some years now and plan to continue with this later this year.

I decided to sit all the exams rather than get exemptions because I knew that with my extensive years of experience practising the art of bookkeeping both in practice and in commerce - I had somewhat of a head start, and it would also get me back up to date with the changes that have occurred since I last sat my accountancy exams.  I set up my company in May 2011 and am now actively seeking more clients to fill my time.

I have many years of experience pre ICB qualification of dealing with bookkeeping / accounting in a commercial environment at all levels in companies that import and export - so I have not only the usual experience derived from running the finances in a commercial enterprise but I also have extensive experience of EC VAT, Intrastat and some experience in EU VAT Refunds.  On the banking side there are also the various additional payment methods used and of course the fun involved with the various transactions in foreign currencies and the resultant exchange rate differences!

Looking forward to being more active on the forum - thanks to James @ ICB for getting me to post.

Thanks Stuart.

I am struggling a bit no longer being qualified to do the things I have done for 19+ years in commerce including Final Ltd Co accounts for audit, Partnership accounts and CT and DT Computations for the Ltd Co prior to joining ICB and going out on my own.  

I know I can do the work, and I want others to benefit from my years of experience, I just need to learn when I am overstepping the mark and to keep quiet. 

I am finding it hard drawing the lines at where each boundary lies on each area of the practice licence - which is partly why I have taken all the exams I could prior to setting up my business properly. I am hoping level IV will help here when it becomes available later in the year.

I have made sure I have PI Insurance cover for all the things I might do or get qualified to do over the coming 12 months.   

Kind regards and thank you for your guidance and good wishes.

Nicki
