Accountant - Aberdeenshire

Accountant

Accountant jobs come in a range of skill levels, from trainee right up to senior. That means that although there will always be a need for chartered accountants in the jobs market, it’s also a discipline that can be entered at a relatively low level, but always with excellent prospects for the most talented and hard-working.

For the most part, companies are looking for qualified accountants with AAT, ACCA, AIA, CIMA or ICAEW qualifications to step into accountancy departments and work under direct supervision. However, since there’s such a spectrum of accountancy qualification and experience, and a significant array of accountancy skills required to work in specific sectors, the details of the job advert will be crucial if an accountant is to slot into a given role with the relevant qualifications, experience and sectoral understanding.

Accountancy – the skills required

Accountants tend to know they want to take their chosen career paths from an early age. They are always people who love mathematics and who have an analytical mindset, and can apply these skills to getting to the bottom of any finance-related task that is set for them.

Accountant roles will also require a degree of business acumen – knowing the ins and outs of what makes industry tick (money) will stand an accountant in good stead, and it’s something that only ever improves with experience.

Accountant Jobs in Aberdeenshire

Aberdeenshire is a large county in the North East of Scotland. Although clearly named after the large city of Aberdeen, the city itself is not technically in the county (Aberdeen City is the local authority), although the city does of course influence the county greatly, not least because the county’s main offices are in Aberdeen City area! Aberdeen borders the counties of Angus, Perth and Kinross and Highland Moray. The population of the county of Aberdeenshire is roughly the same as that of the city, about a quarter of a million.

Aberdeen is a thriving city that is still hugely dependent on the North Sea Oil industry, and is a centre of employment, culture and entertainment that influences the county of Aberdeenshire. Anyone looking for Accountant jobs should check the City of Aberdeen first, but the towns in its orbital area are well worth checking out too. Peterhead, Inverurie and Fraserburgh are worth checking, too.
