Accounting and financial management

A career in accountancy is about helping organisations manage their finances to ensure they’re complying with relevant legal regulations and planning appropriately for the future. You can train and work as an accountant within an accountancy or professional services firm that provides services to external clients, within the finance department of a public sector organisation or within the finance department of a commercial organisation.

The Big 4 continue to dominate the top ten employers in this sector again this year, although three have swapped places and Deloitte has taken the top spot from PwC. The National Audit Office remains the sole public sector representative on the list, retaining its position in eighth place.
