- Complete all ACA Certificate and Professional exams with exception of ACA Business Planning Tax (BPT)
- Sit a CTA Advanced Technical paper in place of the ACA Business Planning Tax (BPT) paper - either Advanced Technical Taxation of Major Corporates (TOMC) or Advanced Technical Taxation of Owner Managed Businesses (OMB)
- Complete all ACA Advanced Level exams. Pass one further CTA Advanced Technical paper or the CTA Application Paper. Pass the Professional Responsibilities and Ethics CBE. This must be passed before you have entered for your last CTA paper
Future prospects
Limitless. They should expect in due course to take responsibility for their own client portfolio and in time to progress through senior, assistant manager and manager grades and potentially beyond. We have staff who have gone from zero tax knowledge to now becoming managers, so the possibilities are endless.
