Greece is the Word

By Max Williamson, for Accountancy, Apr2008, Vol. 141 Issue 1376, p58-58.

Ever dream of a Mediterranean lifestyle? Well, beautiful Greece is posited as one of the latest hot spots for accountants and auditors. This article explains why. The once-before Mediterranean niche market has changed a lot over the past few years, and is now considered the gateway to south-eastern Europe. The skills gap that is present creates an environment where candidates can make their own demands. The booming shipping industry, as well as competition between companies in a small talent pool have caused salaries to go on the rise. Another change that can be witnessed is Greece seeking specialist knowledge beyond its borders. The Greek market is described as less mature, more interesting, and life in Athens has its appeal.

So, if you’re going to be spending hours a day number-crunching and balancing books, why not do it in a sun-drenched and historically beautiful Mediterranean setting?
