International

UK accounting qualifications are highly regarded throughout the world and can provide the vehicle for accountants to experience a variety of overseas locations. While, in the past, the traditional expatriate destinations were those countries with which the UK had historical ties, opportunities are now opening up elsewhere – in particular, the countries of Eastern Europe whose economies are now developing along western lines.

For many accountants the chance to work abroad is an essential part of their life and career plan. Apart from the opportunity to experience other cultures at first hand and to acquire and practice valuable language skills, overseas positions will often offer the newly-qualified accountant the opportunity to work at a more senior level that might be possible at home at the same stage in their career and gain early managerial experience. Salaries frequently compare very favourably with the UK and, depending on the tax regime, opportunities exist for substantial capital accumulation.

At the same time, the UK is an attractive destination for many accountants with foreign qualifications seeking to broaden their professional experience and enjoy the British way of life for a few years.
