I passed my final exam and I am now a CIMA passed finalist! - Oh the joy. . . . .
I've done a stupid amount of partying over the last month, and no better place to do so than in Dublin (where I live and work) and Brighton (where most of my friends reside).
Looking back on it all I feel I've deserved the liver-pickling experience that I have just subjected myself to. It's not an easy task, taking and passing 16 exams in 2½ years whilst working full-time and keeping a social life.
Just one more hurdle to go - and by far the most tedious. In order to prove that I am worthy of the title ACMA, I must produce a report, which - very much like a long-winded CV - details the relevant management accounting experience that I have gained over my career (3 years' minimum experience is required).
Now. . . . . . what was I was doing 3 years ago?
If I can give you one piece of advice in this matter. . . . . . . write your experience up as you go along (it will save you one huge headache in the future)
