ACCA relocating to Britain

Anonymous wrote:

Hello, I am ACCA since 1999, and have completed my MBA at INSEAD in December 2008. I am eligible for the UK work permit under Tier 1 scheme, even without a job offer.

I have over 12 years of experience in finance and accounting in Former Soviet Union countries in top international industrial companies. I would like to relocate to Britain - what do you recommend me in terms of job search? Who should I contact and should I first move to Britain and then start a job search?

Thank you.


A director in WH Marks Sattin's Commerce and Industry division replied

There are currently opportunities in London for candidates with your experience. The opportunities are generally within the oil & gas sector, many of which are with Russian businesses based in London. There could also be interest from FTSE 250 companies who have operations in the same region.

The best thing to do is send your CV through to us so that we can see exactly what sort of experience you have and therefore provide you with the best advice. We generally advise candidates to find out as much information as possible about potential opportunities prior to relocating to another country.

To contact us or send your CV, email
commerce.uk@whmarkssattin.com or call +44 207 321 5000

Best of luck

Hi Job Doctor,

I'm currently a part qualified ACA, with the view of qualifying by the end of 2009. Unfortunately, I do not have first time passes, with 2 retakes in professional stage and obtained a 2:2 at university.

I'm training with a small local 6 partner firm, and would like to move on to one of the Big 4 (Advisory - Corporate Finance/Forensic/Restructuring) in London once I qualify. What are my chances of potentially getting a job with them, especially with the current economic climate?

Would my experience in a small firm hinder my chances, would I increase my chances if I opt for other areas i.e. Audit instead?

Thank you!
