Good news for those wanting to start a career in accounting companies. It has been found out that about a third of Australia’s accounting and finance firms are contemplating on hiring new staff.

Robert Half, an accounting recruitment firm, conducted a study that revealed that out of the 300 chief financial officers and finance directors surveyed, 82 percent believe and are confident that their businesses will be better this year. To add to this, more than 75 percent are expecting a better Australian economy. In fact, new staff is looking to be hired in the early part of 2012 by about a third of the companies.

According to Andrew Brushfield, director of Robert Half, the results proved a perfect time for companies to add more employees.

"There has been a strong start to hiring in the finance and accounting industry in early 2012, and it just goes to show that even in times of wider economic uncertainty, there are still opportunities for talented candidates," said Brushfield.

With the hiring being planned, it would mean that the existing employees will also be retained to avoid being other companies from getting them.

"Companies need to be on the front-foot with their hiring to attract the best candidates and ensure that they are not caught short when they need people the most," added Mr. Brushfield.

With the foreseen better environment for businesses and the Australian economy, companies should already engage in accounting software to ensure that their services and processes are smooth sailing. Business accounting software will indeed put the companies ahead in the competition. And in Australia, Shoebooks is the leading provider of such software.
