“I’ve discovered that finding
a mentor, engaging in continuous
learning and networking are all
essential elements for success.”
Welcome to this exclusive careers special edition
of INTHEBLACK.
There has never been a more opportune time
to pursue a career in accounting or to leverage
a background in accounting and finance.
The accounting profession is essential to the
smooth operation of businesses, playing an
increasingly pivotal and in-demand role in addressing
some of the most urgent challenges facing society
today — such as sustainable business practices,
economic growth and stability.
Accounting serves as the universal language
of business, continually adapting to the rapid shifts
in market demands, technological innovations
and regulatory evolutions. The global marketplace
requires professionals who can navigate diverse
environments with versatile knowledge and skills.
As one of the most esteemed and recognised
designations worldwide, CPA Australia is dedicated
to nurturing career advancement and promoting
lifelong learning. We are committed to enhancing
the skills of accountants and those in related fields
through micro-credentials, including the introduction
of two new sustainability courses, with another set
to launch in January.
Accounting and finance professionals are delivering
exceptional value by harnessing technology and
artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline processes
and transition into critically important strategic
advisory roles, providing vital insights and guidance
on risks and opportunities.
CPA Australia is at the forefront of empowering
talented accountants and finance professionals
to leave their mark globally. From forensic accounting
to environmental, social and governance (ESG)
reporting, specialised expertise opens doors to new
and lucrative niches.
Reflecting on my own career journey, I’ve
discovered that finding a mentor, engaging in
continuous learning and networking are all essential
elements for success. Each component has shaped
my path, opened doors I never imagined and
equipped me with the insights to navigate challenges.
No matter where you are in your career or where you
are located, I am confident that if you embrace these
elements, you’ll not only enhance your career but also
unlock new opportunities for growth and impact.
We trust that this careers special edition will
prove to be both insightful and inspiring for your
professional journey.
