When considering a career in finance, many people consider banking, insurance or equity release but one career which can be very rewarding is a career in financial auditing. Most people enter this profession through the accounting route and it is very suited to certain types of personality.

Many people think that accounting is dull and yet auditing allows you to go into other companies to perform audits on their accounts and to meet new people therefore it is a very sociable job.

It takes a very methodical type of person to be really good at auditing, to make sure that all the regulations and rules are met but you also have to be very diplomatic as the person you are talking to may not always be receptive to any changes you are suggesting. It also takes a good knowledge of accounting procedures and you also need to have a good head for general business issues.

It can be a tough job but great if you are up for a challenge and there are also excellent career prospects. If you progress well there is also the opportunity to travel and practise your job on international clients anywhere in the world.

If you tick all the boxes, why not enquire about a career in auditing and see if this can be your career of choice.
