Accounting in Poland, business venture [44]
As there are four cities in Poland with direct flight routes, the cities being: Poznan, Krakow, Szczecin, Gdansk (so my options are somewhat limited). How would you rank those when it comes to expences?
Szczecin is slightly cheaper than the rest... but overall the main division in Poland is Wrsaw and the rest of the country... places like Szczecin are better not because people make there so much less money than in Kraków or Gdansk but because there are fewer employment opportunities, so staff rotation is less frequent... in Kraków a university graduate fluent in 2 foreign languages has dozens large foreign companies to choose from, It's nothing unusual that people get employed and after 6 months says "not bad but let's try another one" and that of course is very problematic for the employer...
Teachers are obliged to have a bachelor here at home, but even those studying for the ACCA equivalent have two years of non-bookkeeping topics, and one year of bookkeeping topics before they begin as trainees. Delphiandomine, I really don't see why you find it necessary to go through five years of learning to do normal bookkeeping as a clerk.
It's not that it is necessary... It's just the way it done here... all non-idiots/not interested in office jobs (because for example, their parents own a small bakery, which they are going to take over soon) are getting at least BA, in most cases MA. You will have to hire such people and they don't have (unless it is some elite school like WSE) some huge financial expectations. Having MA is basically a norm here.
I would only be interested in those who are interested in bookkeeping as a job for life, or at least for a very long haul.
Sorry but this is a really strange approach. Which young person is interested in anything for life ? Who is honest during recruitment process, especially when unemployed/looking for the 1st job ? These are not medieval times with land owners and their peasants, If the business goes wrong they will simply lose their jobs and you won't give a damn, If they find more interesting/better paid opportunities, they will leave without giving a damn about you. Such is life.
I also don't understand why you focus so much on clerks. In my opinion, key people needed for this kind of business are: 1. accounting expert 2. someone to manage people/run the office 3. business developer with good knowledge of the market 4. good IT guy 5. CEO to put it all together. Then goes the clerks. You need to get them "operational" as quick as it is possible, within weeks, 2 years is madness, majority will be leaving after 2-3 years anyway because they got bored, found much better job, decided to move to London to see how life there and a 1000 other reasons. Outsourcing is a huge sector in Poland, It's not some virgin market, just take a look how others do it and think how you can do it better/cheaper. Doing it the way you think about, you will simply fail.
