City jobs boom for accountants
THE JOB market looks rosy for qualified accountants, as recruitment levels recovered to pre-recession levels at several firms in the second quarter of the year.
Employers were paying up to £100 more per day for contractors than they were during 2009, according to recruiter Robert Walters, with experienced product controllers commanding between £375 and £475 per day. Salary offers are also up dramatically.
Newly-qualified accountants are entering the jobs market sooner and in increasing numbers, in what the firm said is a sign of renewed buoyancy.
