Comments

My candidate is a fully chartered accountant with experience in both chartered accountancy and commercial industry. They bring with them both educational and professional certifications in direct alignment with their knowledge and passion, with top results in both and a wide range of topics covered, giving them a solid base in which to build their career on. In completing roles on both sides of the split between CA and industry, they have developed strong routines and excellent compliance, matched with creativity in finding solutions and dynamicism in the workplace.

My candidate is looking to go back into the commercial world, and is seeking an organisation where there is longevity and progression opportunities to help them to move upward in their career.
