Accounting opportunities in commerce & industry

Anonymous wrote

Hi

I currently work in the Transactions advisory/services arm of one of the Big 4, having previously been Big 4 ACA qualified with good academics supporting these. I am now not at all keen to pursue a career further into the M&A/IB side of things. I was wondering what realistic options would be open to me in Commerce & industry that would not let the financial analytical skills and acumen developed in Transaction Services go to waste?


A consultant at WH Marks Sattin replied

There are a number of avenues open to you within commerce & industry which would enable you to draw upon the more analytical skills developed post-qualifying. There are a few in-house corporate finance roles within large FTSE businesses but these are often very rare and highly competitive. Financial Analyst roles are more likely to become available to you but are probably the most sought after roles we deal with. These roles often work in commercial finance teams separate of core finance involving a large amount of financial modelling and the building of business cases. If you would like to hear what current opportunities may be open to you please send your CV to richard.swain@whmarkssattin.com.

Best of luck
