Management accountants don’t fi t the stereotype of number crunchers and bean counters. In fact, quite the opposite. Nowadays, wherever there’s an important business decision to be made, there’s a cool headed management accountant in the thick of things.

Ever wondered who decides on the price per song on iTunes and how? Or why festival tickets work out more expensive for one day than for the whole weekend?

Chartered Management Accountants are at the heart of all strategic decisions that are key to business success. They work out how much and how many and get results by looking at trends and behaviour. They operate in all types of organisations. They have top jobs often becoming managing directors and chief executives, with many running their own businesses.

One of the companies I look after is a football sports agency, so we deal in the transfer activity and contract negotiations of professional footballers. I’m a massive football fan so really enjoy working in this environment every day.

Welco to the party

Jonathan Power had planned to go to Leeds University after leaving school. But a week after fi nishing his A-levels everything changed when he saw a job advert in the local paper for a trainee management accountant with Nestlé.

After completing my A-levels I made the decision to begin CIMA immediately, joining a blue-chip company to do my training. As well as accelerating my career a few years I also avoided building up a mountain of student debt. I’m now managing the analysis team at Iron Mountain and have never looked back.

Despite achieving A-levels in accountancy and law, Sarah had never planned to go to university. She wanted to fast track her career and has managed to gain four years experience and progress to a higher level role in the time it would have taken her to complete a degree.

Studying CIMA, straight from school, has given me the opportunity to secure an amazing role, in a dynamic multi-national company, working in a fantastic environment among 10ft sharks, otters and tropical fi sh. All without the worry of student debt. CIMA has made my future bright and the world my oyster.
