What is the corporate sector?
Most businesses offer accountancy positions, and the scope can range from a sole accountant within a small business to a multinational department within a large corporation.
Whatever you choose, the goal is to help your business make effective decisions based on exceptional financial insight. The range of roles that contribute to this objective is extensive. You could be producing and analysing financial reports to advise the business of its current and projected financial position. You could also be involved in auditing, financial management, tax issues, insurance, sustainability, and meeting legislative and regulatory requirements. For this reason, those who embrace change with heightened soft skills and cognitive flexibility are likely to be attracted to the corporate sector.
