Accounting and Finance

Accounting and Finance
In 2022, the accounting specialisation saw an exceptional demand for new talent. High levels of candidate mobility created significant upward pressure on salaries in both permanent and temporary markets, partly due to a distinct shortage of talent. In 2023, although still buoyant, the labour market is experiencing a slight shift in the balance of power and employers have a more rational approach with more rigid selection criteria. This change is driven by a lack of resources to provide training and development to upskill new talent.
