What We Do

CIMA is the organisation that trains and supports Management Accountants, primarily through the professional qualification we offer. If you’re thinking about going on to university, don’t worry if you’re not studying Accountancy or Finance. Many students come to CIMA from other backgrounds including Engineering, Social Sciences and Languages.

What is Management Accountancy?

Management Accountancy is concerned with providing financial information and advice essential to managing a business.

Management accountants work as part of a management team, dealing with the financial side of the business and developing strategies crucial to the running of a business. They look not only at last year’s accounts, but today’s facts and tomorrow’s probabilities.

Management Accountancy is a rewarding and beneficial career that can take you anywhere. It is a career that is recognised and practised in companies such as The Coca-Cola Company, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Greenpeace and MTV.
