Post ACA Options for a School Leaver

Hi all

Just as a bit of background, I am currently in my last year of my ACA qualification and just have Case Study left. I started as a school leaver (so obv I don’t hold an undergraduate degree) and now I am exploring the options I have post-qualification. I absolutely hate audit and want to leave as soon as I qualify.

I am looking at my options and from what I have seen, I would really like to boost my CV by pursuing and MBA or an additional qualification. I feel it would open up avenues such as consulting where the ACA (from what I have seen online isn’t enough especially for specialist big consulting firms). Now unfortunately as I don’t have an undergraduate degree, my question is would business schools still accept me? Of course this is assuming I have all the other requirements such as the relevant GMAT scores and professional work experience etc.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Plenty of top line MBA courses will accept you. You may need a couple of year more experience so worth checking.
Imperial College London Accept the ACA as opposed to a bachelors!!!
