Perfect Management Accountants Reviews 10

Scam!!! They will take your money, waste your time with useless worksheets and you wont hear from them again after you finish the program. Not a single interview! They have no job networks anywhere! Probably just some guy sitting somewhere taling advantage of desperate job seekers.

The Employment Placement Programme is worth every single penny. Only complaint i have is that they didn't contact me. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to start a career in accounting

The company and its so called accounting placement programme is a sham. Avoid them... No assistance was provided by the mentor in the process of the so called training programme. after the training also, no job placement was given as promised at the commencement of the programm. they are scammers, avoid them please

The UK goverment should really do something about these scam companies who promise people "valuable" work experience and after they get your money they never bother to answer to you and provide no service at all. I really don't understand why do they still exist and scam people..

So,

Where do I begin. As a recent Accountancy and Finance graduate who achieved a Good Degree I have now been looking for work and you know how it is, as a recent graduate you can get desperate and literally go for anything. I have been applying to jobs for the past 2 months now such as Finance roles, Entry level Accounting roles and etc.

So I applied to this role advertised on Totaljobs as an Assistant Accountant role with a salary of between £25,000 - £27,000. My method is just to send as many applications out as possible and send my CV out. So anyway I got this call from this company regarding the Assistant Accountant role and they said to me we are offering a 3 Months Remote Placement with this Accounting Firm where you will have a mentor accountant and you will be doing a wide variety of tasks and also get your Sage 50 Level 1,2,3 Certifications as well as getting a Xero Certification. They said to me the normal price is £995 however as I am a graduate they will offer it to me for £395. So me being the desperate idiot I am. I decided to go for it as they promised they would schedule interviews for me with there partner firms around Manchester after I have completed the 3 month course. So first RED FLAG was it was a complete false advertisement and they mentioned nothing about this 3 month course in their advertisement but we move on.

So abit about the actual programme, You get a variety of tasks by a 'Mentor' Accountant such as bookkeeping, reconciliation tasks, etc. But most of the stuff you are provided is stuff which you would see given out in a classroom. Its just basic excel spreadsheets the Mentor sends you with a task in them. A complete and utter waste of time. This 'Mentor' is either a robot or he just copy and pastes the same bs for every one of his unfortunate victims. It's completely robotic. If you ever try ask for any personal advice he won't bother replying back to you. And if you ever make a mistake on the task he gives you 0 advice he instead tells you the task is wrong and to try it again? Like wth is this Mentor actually for. Its one big pointless exercise.

The most interesting part about this is the Accountancy Firm that Accounting Placements work with is based in London and is called ' Perfect Management Accountants '

They didn't allow me to include links but if you search them up you can see, Perfect Management Accountants have 0 contact information at all. Also what's very interesting is both ' Accounting Placements ' and ' Perfect Management Accountants ' use the exact same chatbot software... If you try calling Accounting Placements you just get straight sent to voicemail because apparently the mailbox is full... If you try email them they take ages to respond and when they do you end up dealing with a first class clown.

What is also quite interesting is the 'Mentor' types his emails up exactly the same way the guy at Accounting Placements types his emails up... Commas in the exact same place, exact same style of writing haha its a joke.

Regarding the certifications. I don't even think Sage 50 is used that much anymore and outdated (correct me if I'm wrong) and I think Xero is used quite a bit tbf might be the only useful thing about this course but then again if you want to learn how to use accounting software such as Xero, QuickBooks and etc just please find cheap courses online.

It's just one big SCAM and if your a graduate or anyone tbh STAY CLEAR of companies who call you up and want to charge you for work experience. Don't be a idiot like me. Go out there and get actual work experience and avoid any of this nonsense hang up straight away if you get any calls from any company like this.

UPDATE: So if you are assuring me that Perfect Management Accountants is a real firm, how come they do not exist on company's house and when I phoned up to the address perfect management accountants supposedly exists at I was told they have never heard of you before? You really need to stop scamming innocent graduates. You make it out that Accounting Placements LTD is some big company when in reality the guy who runs it is 26 and unemployed and is based in some residential house in surrey?? Get a grip.

They provide barely any help when giving you the materials with most of the work having to be self taught despite being paired with an ‘experienced’ accountant. Their attempt at fixing up your CV was atrocious. I had to tell them they were including things I had never done showing all they must do is copy and paste. I ended up doing my CV again. There was also the promise of helping you find a job after the programme ended but they put in barely any effort trying to achieve that. I had to regularly contact them about any updates and not vice versions. Would not recommend! Steer clear!

Excellent service. Very helpful and understanding mentor that helped me boost my confidence as a trainee account and help me find my first trainee accounting job. Thank you for all your help!

This was a great experience, had great guidance, structure and support which helped me to get on track. I definitely recommend this for others.

I honestly can't thank the team at Accounting Placements enough, with their help and support I have managed to get my first accounts assistant role. My mentor was brilliant and was always there to help. Thanks for everything

I thought my mentor was patient with me and explained things well. Helped me get a job and boost my confidence. Well done for your impeccable service.
