Finance and accounting professionals highly sought after

Professionals who are well-qualified for finance and accounting jobs are becoming highly sought after members of staff for many companies, it has been said. According to Margot Marshall, an executive consultant at recruitment specialist Poolia, the turn of the year has seen a clear increase in the number of organisations looking to fill such positions. "We have noticed a marked increase in roles coming through since the second week of January and are always on the lookout for more qualified candidates to fill them," she said.

Her assessment of the growing demand for skilled workers to fill finance and accounting jobs has been backed up by a recent report carried out by the Future Foundation and Friends Provident. Their Visions of Britain 2020 research has forecast that this decade will see people in elite jobs - professional, managerial and technical - gaining more power in the workplace. The authors of the report stated that this is because organisations are likely to face shortages in the number of well-qualified workers.
