One more thing, if you want to do corporate finance don't work for thes accounting firms. Work for Bulge Bracket investment banks. Since you are in UK you have an advantage of London. Ofcourse, getting into the i-banking would require alot more than simple 21 or First class honours. You need to be an active student plus goot networking skills.
CF in Bi4 isn't much fun and you would be working on deals that are of not that big magnitude. Working hours may be alot better in Big 4 but you will be on less cash. Plus, if you start from Big 4 in CF then you can't go (usually) to i-banking in long run but the otherway is quite normal and easily accessible.
And most accountants, if you are in audit or any advisory dept. you will be required to travel and a fair amount of your time will be at client side. Trust me travelling on official matters isn't funn
