Things are Very Good Indeed for Chartered Accountants
Considering a career in Finance?

The Chartered Accountants Society of Leinster recently released their annual salary survey , which shows wages are increasing, hiring is up, and more accountants are getting promotions.

The average salary for a chartered accountant in the province is now €89,042, as opposed to €87,500 last year, and six out of ten members have been given a salary increase of up to 25% in the last three years.

For anyone considering a new career move in finance, the message from this report is that Chartered Accountancy remains the premium accountancy qualification in Ireland… Some 43% of the Leinster Society’s 23,000 members reported getting a recent promotion, which is an increase from last year.

The average starting salary for a newly-qualified chartered accountant is now €49,784, while a Head of Finance can expect to make in or around €136,318 in 2014. And with 93% of those surveyed saying they feel confident or very confident about their job security, basically things are, on average, going very well indeed for chartered accountants.

Study CIMA at DBS!
Classes started already!

Applications for our Winter CIMA intake will be opening in the coming months. Further information will be available on our website. The next intake will begin before Christmas,with classes due to commence in February 2015.


As you are aware, the CIMA syllabus is changing, effective from January 2015, and to help you transition as smoothly as possible we have put together a specially designed guidance document. You can view the document here.


So what will be changing?
All exams will now be computer based. The existing papers will be set as objective tests with the addition of integrated case studies after each level is complete.


What do I need to do next?
Depending on where you are with your current studies you should try and complete the level that you are currently at in 2014. At Operational and Management levels, this will exempt you from the integrated case study paper. We will be contacting all of our current students and those who have enquired about undertaking CIMA courses at DBS in the coming weeks to provide you with the information that you will need to help you progress through your CIMA pathway.
