With public services now accounting for over 40% of the global economy and overwhelming demand for CIPFA members, there has never been a better time to study CIPFA.
CIPFA members benefit from the following:
- A broad range of transferrable skills in accountancy, audit, tax, business, strategy, leadership and much more.
- Excellent employment opportunities - CIPFA is the qualification of choice for roles relating to public finance.
- The potential to reach the very top in management- CIPFA members often work at the highest level, with almost 80% of our members working in senior roles at either managerial level or above. Many AAT members have gone on to become CIPFA qualified and then on to leadership positions within their organisations. View some of our case studies.
- Earning potential - as a chartered accountant you can expect to be in greater demand by employers and will typically earn significantly more than accounting technicians.
- Increased job satisfaction - due to their involvement in public money, CIPFA members are respected by stakeholders for their high technical and ethical standards and professional integrity.
- Range of study methods - studying for CIPFA is flexible and designed to suit your needs, lifestyle and work commitments. Learn more about our wide range of study options.
- Support and guidance - detailed and dedicated advice just for AAT graduates can be found on the Student Learning Centre once you have enrolled. This has been designed to ensure you have the best support to help you initially with the transition and then on an ongoing basis through to full CIPFA membership.
