Would a commercial firm employ an accountant from the public sector?
Went straight to the NHS from uni, and have worked my way up over the past 10 years, but now fancy something different - preferably not in the public sector. Given I've no commercial experience, how do I convince a commercial organisation I can make a valuable contribution?

Answer 1 :
Yes. Chances are your wages are lower than industry norm so you should be in demand. I recommend you focus on large international companies - the smaller ones will expect you to cover more than just Accountancy tasks. Just take it like any normal job application - discover the Job Requirements and re-write your CV to show how your experience and skills are a 'fit' to those requirements.

Answer 2 :
Very little for very much - they work with figures, mostly for Taxes and Business requirements. the aim is to save clients from parting with too much money into the tax mans coffers, and help to get your financial affairs in order. There is of course a cost for their services, thats where you have to decide if they can save you enough to justify the fees they charge. I think you have to have a fondness of figures to work as an accountant !
