Advice needed for career change to become an accountant?

Harlo harlo! I graduated from a media course in SP with a GPA of 3.25.

May I know what are the available routes for me to become an accountant? My goal is to become a CFO!

I read up a lot about it, but it is rather confusing. Also, if I were to take up a private degree, is LSBF the more recognised one?

There's ACCA, and accountancy course from NTU, SMU and I would guess NUS by now... But to be sure, try researching from this link: https://isca.org.sg/become-a-member/pathways/ch...

Not all types of degrees can lead to exemptions or qualifications, at least find out, and take the necessary routes only to save $$ and time.

Take internships with the Big Four, if possible, E&Y or KPMG. The toughest training usually gives you the most learning.

Its a long way to be a CFO but education, and training will surely build up a good foundation.

For a real life example, the CFO of Kraft Heinz was an investment banker, younger than me. Look at its share price trend in 2019. You probably don't want to be that guy.
