Opportunity Abounds
Take Advantage of this Prime Time to Grow Your Business
We’re going to cut to the chase. There’s no better time than the present to increase your offerings by adding accounting services to your menu. The 2007 Salary Guide from Robert Half International indicated that an increased demand for financial professionals, especially skilled accountants, would result in increased wages. And according to a report released in December of 2007 that demand will continue to increase in 2008. Max Messmer chairman and CEO of Robert Half International explains, “Demand remains strong for highly skilled accounting and finance professionals, particularly those whose functional expertise is complemented by excellent communication and technology skills.”
If you’ve ever thought it wouldn’t be worth your while to acquire accounting skills, think again. While this means an increased opportunity for accountants seeking full-time employment, it also means more work for the contract accountant as well. Amy Langer, president of Minneapolis staffing service SALO says, “We are still seeing demand for accountants being incredibly high. We don’t see it changing for the next eight to 10 years.” She goes on to explain, “The demand for contract accountants is largely due to companies being hesitant to add part- and flex-time positions. Also, they have recently embraced the notion of hiring contractors during busy times.”
Whether you live in Minneapolis or Salt Lake City, the demand remains the same. And you could take advantage of this amazing opportunity now, by increasing your skills.
