Market insights

Candidates are increasingly seeking hybrid flexibility, but many finance roles in manufacturing and supply chain environments still require full-time onsite presence.

Employers value accounting professionals who bring broader commercial awareness, not just technical skills.

Salary expectations remain elevated due to cost-of-living pressures, while many businesses are working within tighter salary bands.

Time-to-fill is extended when employers are unwilling to adjust on flexibility or salary positioning.

Whether a CPA/CA qualification is required varies by role level and business context and often needs clarity early.

Long-term placement success depends heavily on cultural alignment, not just capability.

FAQs

What qualifications matter most when applying for finance roles?

Formal certifications like CPA or CA can strengthen your application, but many employers also value hands-on experience, commercial understanding and strong systems capability.

How can I present my achievements more effectively on my resume?

Highlight the outcomes of your work, such as cost savings, improved reporting accuracy, process efficiencies or strengthened controls.

Why can hiring take longer in finance right now?

Candidates are more selective about hybrid work and salary alignment, and organisations are being more considered with budget allocation and internal fit, which can extend recruitment timelines.

How can we attract strong finance talent without increasing salary budgets?

Offering hybrid work options, study support, structured development pathways and clear role purpose can significantly improve role appeal.
