Is it just me or does £30,000/£32,000 seem quite low? Maybe in the context of the outputs expected of a part-qualified worker it makes sense.... How about a video on what you did in each role, but said frankly - no corporate spin?
I agree although I did come across a lot of peers who were earning below these thresholds when a trainee. Salaries can really range. That’s a video I have in scope & certainly one I will add onto the list 😬

Yes i agree. Have you checked out the Hays Financial Salary study? It's a very full study that splits out all roles in the finance function by region. www.hays.co.uk/salary-guide
@@CRAIGO10 yes I did and it’s so much better. Very useful during salary negotiations. Although, up north I think most people can only expect 30k after fully qualifying.
I started a level 7 apprenticeship (CIMA) 8 months ago. Due to exemptions, I am studying at the management level and have passed my first exam. My company is coming towards the performance appraisal period, so im expecting a meeting about my next years performance targets and possibly pay. Im earning £28.5k, should I ask for a payrise to £35k maybe? I never done a payrise negoviation before and HR dont seem to have any published guidelence around payrises, so not sure how to approach this...
I don’t have the knowledge of how your company operates but from my experience, you’re pay is predominatently linked to your role. Yes I recieved small pay rises for progression but not at £6.5k for finishing 2 levels. Ultimately a business will reward you for the role you have and the effectiveness on the job. Of course push it, but don’t be disappointed if it doesn’t get you to £35k! 😀 Hope that helps!
I am qualified CMA(India) and if I qualify CIMA as well, and I have around 4-5 years of work experience in Audit and Finance from reputed organizations. Now please give me idea about how much my average salary is gonna be after qualifying CIMA?
Ohhh very controversial & not an easy question to answer. My opinion; two new hires at entry level, yes. Two 40 year olds, one male who has worked all the way through vs a female who took a 5 year career break to look after a new born, maybe not. They would have missed out on 5 years of appraisal increases. And then the argument of do women get to the high level roles as frequently as men, probably not and therefore paid less. A lot of studies out there on this, give them a search! 😬
Hi Craigo, regardless of somebodys starting salary as a trainee accountant, would you expect this to still increase (by similar increments you ellude to) throughout their qualification?
Hey! Stands for 'Practical Experience Requirements', essentially it is about you displaying that you work on certain competencies/skills alongside your exams as part of your full time job over a three year period. Without the PER you cannot obtain the CGMA designation. I recommend you do some reading here; www.cimaglobal.com/Studying/Becoming-a-cgma/Practical-experience-requirements/
Hey. So aperantly I'm planning to give my operationl case study exam. And this video was really very helpful for me. But can u tell if I can get a job in UK as CIMA tranee after doing my management case study. Do people in UK hire Indian employe ?
Are you looking at typical accounting roles? They tend to pay less at trainee level, even in top 4, and then you benefit once qualifying. Management accountants will have a better salary at the beginning of career due to stable, industry salaries
@@CRAIGO10 they are just trainee roles really for school leaves I’ve been unemployed for the better half of a year since graduating so I’m open to anything atm even if it isn’t a graduate role
@@CRAIGO10 hampshire and sons been offered ACA 3 year graduate job at 20k. Seems uni was a waste as I earnt that as a 22 year old manual worker trainee in 1993
Thanks for your informative video 😊👍📹. I've had roughly solid 2 years accounting experience over different industries through agency temp work and some voluntary doing entry level account assistant role . However, I took 4 year gap doing something none related to accounting. I want to brush up my skills whlist I try to complete Cima Certificate. What advice can you lend. Thank you
I have just completed my mba last year working as a senior supervisor planning to do CIMA can I get some exemptions in my exams or not ? I quit Cima because of my master but now I feel I can do it now
How long does it take to become fully qualified cgma provided that an accounting and finance degree is completed with certificate level and operational level exemptions? For instance a regular 3 yr degree.
Does the FLP of cima make any difference in terms of getting preference while applying for a job? If so is that a positive or a negative preference for the companies? Ps I've just turned 22 and I live in India and am going to give my operation level case study this November, do you think I would have a chance of getting hired in a UK based company?
That’s very tough but I suspect you could! The truth is though, most people don’t do it full time. Don’t forget the practical experience requirements to obtain the CGMA designation!
But if you aren’t working, you won’t have any practical experience requirements? You also only have three years after submitting SCS to submit your PER.
Nice one Craigo CMGA... Smiles. Could you please clarify : What about, someone who is a CA in his country. Has AAT in Nigeria, BSc Accounting, ACCA-Certifr and looking to study MSc Accounting and Finance in UK with about 7 years of experience in accounting as Head of Finance, Finance Manager, Finance Controller in Nigeria(excluding other junior level jobs) What's the prospective pay like and journey? Any idea, please?
Bro i have doubt can i go to work while studing cima ?? Edit- our salaries vary from operations, management , strategic levels right ? Ans - if yes then we have to take part time job or full time job for "PER".
Of course you can! I recommend CIMA alongside a full time job. The PER requirements rate three years without explicitly start full/part time. I think the assumption is you will work full time while studying!
No, CIMA is exclusive. However if you study a relevant degree you're likely to get exemptions from CIMA as you will have studied some modules at university.
If've done my ACCA in india(Without practical experience), Then if i decide to go to uk on a study visa, And after that on my PSW visa, Is it possible to get a job in a good accounting firm for an international student like me(taking in consideration that I've already cleared all my papers for ACCA)? please Guide
I don’t see why not. Unfortunately I don’t know anything about the different types of visas available to international accountants. I recommend doing your own research :)
No CIMA cannot get permanent residence in UK. My guess is you'll need to work for a company that require you to work in the UK if you want to go down that route.
You certainly are on the right career path and qualification that will give you the opportunity for a job in the UK. I can't 100% say you will get a job though, this isn't black or white!

Controversial Q - Do you believe that women CIMA students/CGMA's make the same as their male counterparts?
Ohhh very controversial & not an easy question to answer. My opinion; two new hires at entry level, yes.

Hi Craigo, regardless of somebodys starting salary as a trainee accountant, would you expect this to still increase (by similar increments you ellude to) throughout their qualification?
All depends on company, pay scales, experience etc when it comes to internal.
You can always jump ship and boost earnings if need be though!

Ideally you need some work experience alongside CIMA. Either look for entry level roles or something similar to what you were doing previously! 😄
I have just completed my mba last year working as a senior supervisor planning to do CIMA can I get some exemptions in my exams or not ? I quit Cima because of my master but now I feel I can do it now
Use the CIMA exemption tool and take a look. You’ll then provide CIMA with your transcript & they will grant them if elegible!
How long does it take to become fully qualified cgma provided that an accounting and finance degree is completed with certificate level and operational level exemptions? For instance a regular 3 yr degree.
It obviously all depends on how quickly you pass the exams. But I would aim approx 18 months!
Hi, thanks for the video. What about ACCA members- are their potential salaries different than CIMA members?
Hey! If they work in industry, I would say no. For practice, I couldn't comment, I have no experience of expected salaries in the practice field.
Hi, do you offer classes?
Afraid not!
What do you think about a

And Cima
Personally I wouldn’t bother. If you want to be able to sign off accounts then I would just sit ACCA. 😄

No idea about your market. Salaries vary massively country back country, even state vs state!

Ps I've just turned 22 and I live in India and am going to give my operation level case study this November, do you think I would have a chance of getting hired in a UK based company?
No, FLP or exam route will give you the same designation. I cannot answer that, a very generic question.
