Association of International Certified Professional Accountants creates new online Global Career Hub

The Association of International Certified Professional Accountants (the Association) has launched a new online career portal to help accounting and finance professionals find positions and develop their careers, while also providing employers a highly-skilled pool of potential hires.

The Association's Global Career Hub, combining the strengths of the AICPA and CIMA, offers a variety of resources and services for applicants and employers throughout the global finance industry. The site is open to all financial professionals, employers and recruiters.

"The accounting profession is changing rapidly as new technologies demand different skills and talents. We know our members and financial professionals globally are continually seeking to enhance their capabilities and career prospects," said Tim Mahne, Association vice president for marketing and member experience. "The Global Career Hub is part of the Association's commitment to being a lifelong career partner to our members and financial professionals. The Hub will provide them the resources and tools they need to remain competitive in the job market, and the broad range of financial jobs available will meet the needs of young professionals looking to launch their careers as well as seasoned professionals looking for their next opportunity."

The Global Career Hub features tools for professionals at all career stages, from students and entry level accountants looking for their first position to mid- and senior-career finance professionals seeking to hone their skills or advance their careers.

The site currently lists more than 17,500 job openings globally, including positions in the UK, Africa, US, Asia and Australia, from all levels of accountants to CFOs. It also features resume and interview coaching products and services, as well as career advice, including how to determine your salary worth or ways to better advocate for themselves in the workplace. New features and postings will be added regularly.

At the same time, the Global Career Hub offers employers and recruitment agencies access to qualified applicants from around the world, as well as the opportunity to show case their company and brand to attract high calibre talent.

"Employability and enhancing workforce capability lies at the heart of everything that we do at CIMA," said Dr Sara Bux, Associate Director-Southern Africa, Africa. "One of the goals of launching the Global Career Hub is to improve members' and students' career prospects by exposing them to new job opportunities. In turn, employers have access to a pool of talented CIMA members and student that are skilled and competent to make a real impact on the business."
