Accountancy jobs in Financial Services for qualified and part-qualified accountants
Working within the financial services sector can offer a rewarding and challenging career within a dynamic and ever changing environment. Deregulation has allowed financial services institutions to offer a much wider range of products and services such as insurance, corporate banking, mortgages, as well as the previous staple of current and savings accounts. Competition between and among banks and other financial organisations to sell products with similar features is fierce. For people looking for career opportunities, the financial services sector can provide exceptional training within graduate programmes, or, as a specialist within HR, Finance and IT you can expect exposure to a wide range of business changes such as; projects, products and departments.
Some of the main providers of financial services are:
Retail banks – Banks whose branches are generally seen on the high street and service private customers and sole traders
Commercial banks – Banks who deal with corporate or commercial customers rather than individuals
Private banks – Specialist banks offering services to high net worth individuals
Building Societies – Previously offering mainly savings accounts and mortgages, however have recently diversified in to more generalist areas
Supermarkets – Now offering insurance, savings accounts, ISAs and loans
Insurance – A varied market where you have general insurers, Lloyds of London market and insurance broking.
The main function of the financial services sector is to persuade people to entrust their money into their care. There are professional issues relating to ethics and confidentiality and most roles are covered by the FSA regulations, so professional qualifications are very important within most professional disciplines in this sector.
