Just to say..I passed my final ACCA accounting exam!
October 14, 2024 6:02 AM
I passed my final exam! I'm so relieved and happy. It has been a 10 year journey from start to finish filled with dread, reluctance, hope, sadness and now finally some happiness.
I already feel so much more positive, I know that there are lots of options now open to me within accounting but also outside of it too or adjacent to it. No matter how much I've despised accounting, it's provided me an income and freedom from abuse & I'm eternally grateful for that.
I'm already starting to think about new roles, hopefully a big salary jump and for the first time since I was 17, literally, I'm allowing myself to feel a bit excited for the future.
It's early days, but I think completing this qualification will slowly work to restore my terrible self esteem. I did it!
Thank you all for your support. Today is a day for me to just be happy and proud of myself :)

Go you :)) Quite apart from the professional advantages, now you get to point to it whenever your brain insists you can't accomplish anything. Hard to argue with an official designation!
