The accountancy sector covers a wide range of business sectors and in a broad spectrum of roles. It can be divided into accountancy firms that provide advice and accounting services to a range of clients in both the public and private sector, it also covers accountants working in one particular organisation, for example, Microsoft, Google, Glanbia, Bank of Ireland and for Government but to name a few.

Recognised and respected internationally, a qualification in Chartered Accountancy brings global mobility, with Chartered Accountants in demand both at home and abroad. Once qualified, you become a member of Ireland’s largest and fastest-growing accounting body.
Chartered Accountancy training combines innovative education with mentored work experience, to produce accountants who possess a greater ability to analyse and interpret business problems and develop dynamic solutions. Perhaps that’s why Chartered Accountants have the edge over their counterparts: Chartered Accountants rise further and faster into more diverse and important roles in organisations.

Supporting the economy in a tightening labour market:
Accountants are included by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment on its Critical Skills Occupations List, which highlights areas of employment where there is a shortage of qualifications, experience or skills required for the proper functioning of the economy. Chartered Accountants Ireland notes that reductions in processing times for work permits for chartered accountants from outside the European Economic Area, will play a key role in meeting client and market demand for qualified chartered accountants, both in practice and in industry.
As the Irish economy continues to flourish, more employers than ever are seeking quality finance professionals for their organisations.
