Accountancy Practice Cert

Maigheo Maigheo

I am qualified IIPA with over 25 years experience of working in Accounts, Book-keeping and Finance Roles. Last year IIPA were taken over by or merged with CPA so I am now a member of CPA.

I'm currently on Career Break from public service to consider self employment. I am business savvy and also have a Business Degree from NUI. I am working in our family business and would like to start doing accounts for sole traders/farm accounts as an extra sideline and to complement income.

I have spoken with CPA and in order to do this I need a practice cert. Are there any accountants out there that I could shadow or who would take me under their wing to mentor me and supervise my work with a view to signing off on experience should it be satisfactory?
In return, I can offer to do some accounts/book-keeping hours. I may also be interested in taking over a practice but would need to work alongside existing accountant for 2 years in order to get a practice cert.

I know this is a strange request but if you can assist I would really appreciate it. Also, I am open to suggestions. Based in South Mayo, but this should not be an obstacle with IT and also willing to travel. I also am very IT savvy, have experience in many packages and have studied Computer Science and Software Development with GMIT Galway.

All suggestions greatly appreciated

I think cpa have a practice connect service which handles this kind of thing. Get on to practice advisory in cpa and you can place an add on their website.
