As we approach year-end and reflect, one of the critical success factors for us at Lemon Talent is service levels. Our mantra is it's about quality over quantity when it comes to our interactions with both clients and candidates. Thankfully having started to use Sourcr, we have been able to track feedback and ratings throughout the year. We also won an award in our first year on sourcr, hopefully one of many more to come! Feel free to have a read through some of our reviews in the link below. 🍋🍋 Paul Minton Brook Coxon Kevin Keane 🍋🍋

It was great to partner with Chartered Accountants Ireland to sponsor the annual boat cruise here in Sydney last week. Despite the weather not playing ball, a great night was had with some sore heads the following morning. The Sydney CAI community continues to grow, with new accountants arriving almost daily looking to commence the next stage of their career. Lemon Talent Kevin Keane 🍋🍋
Sad news coming from our old employer EY, following on from much of the rest of the big 4 firms as they look to cut costs on the back of reduced demand. Having worked at at EY Sydney, I can't see this decision as been taken lightly, given they were the only firm not the let anyone go during covid. While I don't see the layoffs being focused on the accounting / tax space, if you are one of those impacted, feel free to reach out for a discussion around next steps. We are here to help.

🌍🍋 Last Friday, we had the privilege of volunteering and contributing to Zambrero's Plate 4 Plate campaign - to help combat world hunger! Zambrero donate 1 meal to someone in need for every meal purchased in their restaurants. So far over 72,000,000 meals have been donated! 👏🤯 Packing meals for those in need brought us closer as a team while playing a small role in making a big difference 🍋❤️
Good advice below for those looking to make their first move out of audit 🍋🍋
If I had a dollar for every time an auditor told me they want to go straight into FP&A, I'd be a rich man 💰. The majority of auditors will say their first choice is to get straight into FP&A or financial analysis. While it's definitely not impossible, getting straight into FP&A can be difficult for professional services first movers. Particularly for those coming from overseas, given the huge demand internally in Australia, taking a chance on a candidate with no prior experience and who likely needs sponsorship is a tough sell for any hiring manager. My advice to auditors making the move would be to not limit yourself by only looking at FP&A roles. It is much easier to get into FP&A laterally once you are in a business and have some exposure to financial control. While it may not sound as exciting as FP&A, a financial accounting role is usually to perfect next step for auditors making their first move into industry. There are also financial accounting roles (usually within smaller businesses) which give you some FP&A exposure, such as budgeting & forecasting. If you are an auditor looking for your first move out of practice, feel free to reach out for a chat. Lemon Talent 🍋🍋
