Accountancy Jobs

As a specialist accountant recruitment consultancy, we have over 19 years experience of recruiting accountancy professionals into organisations.  Our established offering has the backing of a second largest staffing company globally. This enables us to secure accountancy jobs for finance professionals across the UK and Europe regardless of niche market or level.

Current trends within accountancy recruitment include:

•  Widespread headcount reductions over the last six months with further cuts expected.
•  A focus on interim/temporary accountant jobs which looks set to play a more prominent part in the overall recruitment strategy of many companies in 2009.
•  An overall reduction of permanent accountancy jobs across the board due to headcount freezes or delays in recruitment plans for the first half of the year.
•  A freeze in permanent salaries for existing accountancy professionals.
•  Highly competitive, rigorous and challenging job search conditions for the majority of accountants.
•  A widening gulf between supply and demand which has meant employers are in the driving seat for the first time in years.
•  A more noticeable rise in the number of employers demanding very specific skills and experience often for lower remuneration packages.
•  Lengthening of interview times as the process toughens up to ensure only the best accountants are hired.
•  An adjustment in jobseeker’s salary expectations with the renewed need to approach their job search with flexibility and a focus on long-term rather than short-term gains.
•  An increase in employers believing that the adoption of innovative strategies for retaining their key talent is as critical as ever.
