Our LinkedIn feeds have recently been jam packed with proud qualification announcements from accountants up and down the country.
If you’re one of those joyous professionals whose hard work and commitment to study has finally paid off and you’ve received news of your final pass – CONGRATULATIONS! We love seeing you shouting from the rooftops about it and we hope you’ve taken some time to celebrate with those who have supported you to achieve your professional aspirations.
But when you drift down from Cloud Nine, it’s important that you take a moment to assess the next steps for your career and there is arguably no better time to take advantage of our free and totally confidential benchmarking service.
Whether you’ve made it to the end of your CTA study, you’ve received your certificate for ATT, ACA, ACCA or AAT level qualification or perhaps you’ve achieved a certain level of professional standing as an auditor, payroll or bookkeeping expert. Every time you progress to a certain level as an accountant, you should expect your reward and worth to increase significantly.
It’s pretty much a daily occurrence for our team of recruitment consultants to meet with accountants who have been working at the same firm for a while, maybe they’ve been supported to achieve their qualifications with time out to study and/or financial contributions towards the cost of study, maybe they haven’t, but more often than not, these candidates are woefully underpaid for the role they are now ready and able to do. These candidates are always really surprised to know market rates for accountants of their calibre.
Though you may be committed to remain at your current employer, it’s always worth us reminding you that the candidates who see the fastest ascendance to the pinnacle roles of their careers, are always those who make regular moves. And by regular we mean once every 2-3 years. These candidate enjoy the best levels of financial reward along the way and their exposure to a diverse range of clients, sectors and modes of working mean they become highly attractive to firms looking to appoint senior leaders.
So if you’ve recently qualified, our message to you is crystal clear – reach out today to find out what you should be expecting next when it comes to opportunities and rewards. Don’t let the moment to let all your hard work pay off pass you by.
