To be an accountant today is an incredibly fortunate and lucrative opportunity. Not only are your skills in high demand, they also translate well across international borders.
At Ab² Institute of Accounting, we strive to hone your skills so you can get to a level where you can use them in the Philippines or take them abroad.
But let’s find out why you’d want to work internationally in the first place.
More opportunities
The accounting industry is experiencing a skills shortage, at a global and local level. In the Philippines alone, we’ve seen over 30,000 accountants apply for just 1,200 positions.
That’s a big number, but it doesn’t have to be a frightening one. With a working knowledge of overseas policies and best practices, you can open yourself up to a world of accounting positions, potentially in some of the industry’s most recognized firms.
See your opportunities expand. As the demand for highly trained accountants shows no sign of slowing down, it’s a smart choice to learn about accounting practices and standards in countries other than your own.
Smarter networks
To remain competitive, accountants need to be constantly “in the loop”. Opening up your talents to a global forum offers invaluable opportunities to connect, learn, and grow from the insights and experiences of some of the best accountants in the industry.
Accessing the international community means welcoming a wealth of new ideas and guidance, not to mention unique experiences with different regulations, practices, and programs that can set you apart on the shortlist. This is how you can benefit:
Greater employability
International experience is a highlight on any CV. By broadening your skills to encompass international standards and practices, you prove to potential employers your ability to adapt, self-improve, and communicate with people from diverse backgrounds – all of which are key skills needed for any successful accountant today.
It also means you can look at your current or future business from a global perspective and provide your employer with new ideas that may fall off their radar or may not be commonplace in the region where you’re working or would like to work.
“Two weeks from completion of the Australian Accounting Introductory and Intermediate Courses, I’d received and accepted a job offer from an Australian company!” said Erwin Salvador, a former Ab² Institute of Accounting student.
“Definitely recommended for those interested in international careers and higher pay.”
Higher salaries
International companies often pay significantly more than local firms.
Accountants who are qualified to work in the United States, for example, often work remotely while earning USD. This means that, along with better-paying positions, they can leverage a favorable exchange rate, which increases their salaries even further.
While earning an above-average salary is an obvious boost to your personal life, the benefits extend to your region too. Money received from abroad, is money for your community and your local economy.
“Ab² invests in those professionals who want to invest in themselves,” explained Nick Sinclair, who founded the Ab² Institute of Accounting, in addition to TOA Global, the leading global talent solutions provider for the accounting industry.
