Have you got what it takes?

Running your own business is rewarding, but can be tough, especially in the early days. Think carefully about whether it’s a challenge you’re ready for and whether you have the necessary skills. Being your own boss means you have to be driven, highly-organised, motivated and diligent – all skills you’ll have picked up during your AAT qualifications.

We’ll provide useful advice and updates, free and discounted events to help you build your business, free advice helplines, plus CPD and practice management resources, and much more.

Starting Your Own Practice with ACCA

We offer a clear route to becoming a licensed, independent accountant under ACCA. Whether you’re still training or already fully qualified, there’s a structured path for you.

How We'll Support You

If you’ve completed the ACCA qualification and gained the required practical experience, you can apply for an ACCA Practising Certificate. This will allow you to legally offer a wide range of accountancy services — from bookkeeping and payroll to statutory accounts, tax, audit, and advisory work.

  • You’ll earn the globally respected ACCA designation.

  • With a practising certificate, you can:

    • Open your own firm

    • Serve clients across sectors

    • Offer full accountancy, tax, and audit services (if audit experience requirements are met)

Still Studying?

If you’re an ACCA student or affiliate, you can still gain experience and build towards your own practice by:

  • Working under an ACCA-approved employer or supervisor

  • Logging your practical experience

  • Completing the Ethics and Professional Skills Module (EPSM)

Once you’re fully qualified and meet ACCA’s requirements, you’ll be ready to apply for your Practising Certificate and start your own regulated firm.

Why ACCA?

  • Recognised in over 180 countries

  • Pathway to global practice rights

  • Access to a wide network of accountants and resources

  • Strong emphasis on ethics, compliance, and continuing professional development
