US to UK

I am a U.S. citizen, qualified CPA, Masters in Accounting with Big 4 and Banking experience. Is it easy to make a switch to the U.K? Are companies willing to take on expats both legally (visas) and financially (relocation costs)? Or is this a tough sell in the current market?

Thanks

Hello

In order to fully answer this question I believe we need more information regarding previous experiences. Making a move from the US to the UK is definitely feasible however certain factors need to be considered. It is impossible to give a definite answer to this question until we ascertain where your skills lie.

I would be more than happy to discuss this further so by all means email me at
jobdoctor@markssattin.co.uk and your message will be forwarded to me. We can then see if we can help you in your move.

Sorry I can’t be more helpful, but as I said I am happy to chat about your options.

All the best

Hi, I am a final year student at Nottingham University studying Finance, Accounting and Management. I want to work in Corporate Finance or a related discipline. I reached final assessment centre stages for both PwC and KPMG before being informed that they had filled all their vacancies in this area. Both have given me the opportunity to apply for audit instead of my original service line, as this is all that is now available in Manchester. If I were to join audit and qualify as an ACA, would it be possible/easy to move into Corporate Finance, M&A advisory etc once qualified?
