Financial Services

Background
The financial services industry provides some of the most exciting and demanding career opportunities where qualified accountants are well placed to compete with the best of the rest. In addition to the more traditional areas of banking, investment management and insurance, we are increasingly asked to provide candidates for both the major corporate finance houses and the smaller, more focussed advisory firms. In addition, the demand for compliance and risk management specialists continues to grow.

Reed Finance clients include many of the major players and, while London still dominates, opportunities occur throughout the country, particularly in areas such as the Thames Valley where clustering of financial services activity has achieved critical mass. This is a sector where personal contribution is very visible and rewards are more often directly related to individual achievement. The skills acquired in the financial services industry have wide application elsewhere and are particularly sought for the corporate finance departments of major companies, in consultancy and, increasingly, in various parts of government.
