Hi guys, thanks for stopping by, I've done a CA (SA) video here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jq5hY9yCmK6lp6M.htmlsi=mCnwhpdNH43veEd2 And on Weds, it will be focused on finance managers.

I'm a Chartered Accountant and I understand the confusion that exists regarding salaries. Keen to explain it but it will be very long. In summary, The first person's salary is correct. In fact, they earn more than I did when I started. However, in articles, salaries increase every 6 months and after professional exams are passed (So about 8 increases in articles typically about 10% increases for the 6 and about 15% -20% for the big exams that are passed). When you become a CA, depending on your negotiations and how you networked in articles, it is very common for it to double. I've been a CA for 4 years now and I've doubled my salary again from when I became a CA. In my circle of CA friends there are those who've done better than me. They have doubled their salaries in less time and they get bonuses that are multiples of their annual CTCs. It all depends on candidate and how they take advantage of the opportunities in front of them.

Boni is not lying and I like her transparency. However, people should know that there is a lot of Accounting : Fiinancial Accounting, BAcc, Management Accounrting and Financial Accounting(General), and above all there is too much supply with these Accounting degrees , and to earn high you should be vastly different. Hence I route for BAcc(CA degree), Honours in Accounting but PGdip if it happens that you do not make honours, and CA(SA) but along the way to that route make sure you learn a lot of things outside school books that will differentiate you from your competitors. But bear in mind this doesn't constitute any advice please do your own research

Yoh that Compliance auditor, went through the pain of doing not just basic auditing but applied auditing (which all Accounting student me included know Auditing is a legit motherfluffer) to later only make 20k😭😭💔💔💔🙃 thats bad, and we as accounting students are legit fighting for our lives with these modules

These are the degrees that get you though the door, the rest is up to you once you're in

The thing about accounting and finance is that there are different degrees, roles & industries. That’s why the salary range is quite different and vast.

It's true that to earn well in the Accounting field, you need to specialize. Whether it's with SAICA, SAIPA, CIMA, etc. I have an accounting degree that hasn't done much for me. I eventually moved to IT and my certificate, lower than my degree and lower than a diploma even, has gotten me a job in IT that paid me more than my previous permanent job at an internship level. The pay has since more than doubled at the grad stage and is expected to increase some more once I specialize in a few years. My degree did, however, get 1 foot in the door for me coz this opportunity I got requires 1 to have a degree as a minimum regardless of what field the degree is in. So I'm grateful for that part.

Yoh hectic! Imagine an accountant with 16 years experience earning as much as an engineering graduate with 2 years experience after varsity 😅 no ways! There's something wrong with that. Unfortunately when you're desparate for a job you can't get picky, and that's sad. Companies are really benefitting from desparate people in this country

I once saw an Accountant vacancy SAICA articles were part of their requirements and the salary was 18K-25K i almost went to see an optometrist to see if my eyes didn't have a problem 😭😭🙌

I wouldn't say accountants are mathematically gifted😂, they don't do pure mathematics in varsity, Actuaries are😎

Yohh these are peanuts shem😥. If part 2 goes like this then im changing careers

Hi. SAIPA (South African Institute of Professional Accountants) also requires you to do articles. Usually, the degree as a pre-requisite is SAIPA accredited degree such as a Bcomm Financial Accounting, BTech/(Diploma - with the aim to complete a NQF level 7) in Accounting, etc.

My brother has BCom degree and Honours. He is in the IT part of this industry and earns very very well.

Accounting qualification is basically a waste of time

You can start articles immediately after matric ( if you find a firm) then you study while doing them

I left my Retail Job earning R16k average and around R28k festive season to do Bcom Finance degree , was it a good choice ?

Thank you! :)

The low salaries are mostly from people who don't have a degrees though😢.

One thing most people fail to understand is that you do finance or accounting because you're passionate about it/them. Otherwise, you'll struggle. Money is in tech. Speaking from experience.

Currently doing my first year in bcom accounting 😢 and after seeing this im going change next year😢

Can you please do HR workers please.

Hey I've been watching your videos for awhile now. Can do CIPS salaries. I'm getting my certification. Please cover how much MCIPS holders earn in RSA

Boni can you please share a payslip of a networking technician And engineer. ❤

Just pursue engineering...
