Embrace Opportunity: The New Financial Year Boosts the Legal Job Market! After a long Easter Weekend, we step into a fresh financial year! The new financial year always brings a surge to the labour market on both Employer and Employee sides. Here are brief reasons why: For the Employer: With the start of a new fiscal year, law firms review their budgets and allocate resources strategically. With teams having refreshed recruitment budgets, this can mean new openings, expansions, and investments in talent. For the Employee: The new financial year often brings with it a host of promotions as we pass appraisal season. People often consider moving jobs when they see others being promoted, as it prompts reflection on their own career trajectory and desire for advancement. Feeling undervalued or recognizing a mismatch in opportunities may drive individuals to seek new roles where their skills are recognized and there's room for growth. In essence, the new financial year injects vitality into the job market with an expected upturn in both roles available and candidates looking for a change. As we all well know, the job market is cyclical in nature. Whether you're a Senior Associate or Partner looking to explore new horizons, or a Trainee solicitor looking for NQ roles, it’s worth exploring opportunities that the new financial year brings. ‘Leaving it until summer’, could be a regrettable outlook. #NewFinancialYear #JobMarket

The Student Advocate of Cloud Accounting | Host of the Accounting Conversations Podcast | Passionate Accounting Student | CPA Eligible Spring 2026 | Intern @ Actuate Cloud Professional Accounting
Most students do not know what it takes to get a job. For the longest time it was assumed that getting a degree was a ticket to a successful career. You simply graduate and recruiters will be bitting at the bit to hire you. But today this is just not the reality. Hiring managers want to see real applicable skills. They want candidates that already have applicable experience. Experience is the key word. Students need to do more than just demonstrate understanding of what they are learning in the classroom. They need to go and do those things in the real world. Accountanting students can go and do book keeping or tax work for a small local CPA firm. Finance students could work at a local private equity or CRE firm. Marketing students could get a role running their schools sports teams social media pages. There are hundreds of ways for students to get experience before leaving their university. It is imperative that students do so they can land the job that they want and that they have worked so hard to get.

The Insolvency & Accountancy Practice Recruiter ● Helping You Land Top Jobs & Advance Your Career ● Specialising in Insolvency, Audit & Tax Roles ● UK & Caribbean roles ● Contact Me for help with your next career move
If you're a Partner or Director contemplating a significant leap in your career or a move overseas, you're not alone! I recruit from all levels from Trainees to Partners. In addition to the Senior Managers and below I helped in 2023, I also had the pleasure of assisting 3 partners and 4 directors in taking on their next big challenges in the Insolvency and Accountancy Practice sectors. These moves aren't just about changing jobs; they're about strategic career advancements and finding the perfect fit in a complex and ever-evolving industry. One key insight I've gained is that 9 times out of 10, senior-level vacancies aren't publicly advertised. These roles often circulate within a more discreet network, where specialist recruiters like myself come into play. My role is to connect exceptional individuals with these unique opportunities, ones that you might not find through a regular job search. So, whether you're a director eyeing that corner office or a partner looking to redefine your professional journey, I'm here. Let's chat over a coffee (virtual or in-person!) and plot the next big thing in your career. #insolvencyjobs #insolvency #auditjobs #taxjobs

They said most people don't work full-time while going to college. I did...working 52 hours a week with a full course load, and graduated manga cum laude. They said most students can't get a loan without a co-signer. I did. (See 52 hours of work) They said most grads won't find a job post-college because of the 2007 recession. I did...joining KPMG through a job posting on Monster. They say most small businesses fail within the first year. stage is entering its second year (in one month). They say personal life should be kept out of #business to be professional. I wrote about working while #parenting during the COVID lockdown. It is my most-read post. They say there are specific ways to #networking. I created FCK* DOING. ALL. THE. THINGS for moms in the #legal industry. They said once you get into #legalmarketing, you never leave. Well… that part is still true, and I am doing it a little differently now. Don't let others dictate what you can and cannot do. What are you allowing others to define for you?

Does Your College Major Really Matter? 🎓 Yes and no. Employers often seek candidates with direct experience. However, for recent college graduates who may not have extensive job experience, classroom knowledge still counts as valuable knowledge. Aligning your studies with the job market you intend to enter can be most advantageous for landing employment quickly. However, if your major doesn't directly relate to your target job, highlighting your minor or specific coursework on your resume can be incredibly beneficial. For example, a Liberal Arts Major with a Finance Minor might not seem like a straightforward fit for an Accounting career. However, including relevant coursework such as Principles of Accounting I & II, Intermediate Accounting I & II, Federal Income Tax I & II, Principles of Auditing, Accounting Information Systems, and Managerial and Cost Accounting, etc. demonstrates a stronger commitment and suitability for the role. This strategy strengthens your credibility for the position you're applying for and helps you stand out to recruiters. Remember, every detail counts in showcasing your dedication and capability for the job! Bonus: If you have a strong GPA (above a 3.0/4.0) include it on your resume. #CareerAdvice #Education #JobSearch #Recruiting #AccountingJobs #STLjobs #PEGstaff #workwithPEG

👶 Do young people still find accountancy and finance an exciting career prospect? 👶 🎓 Yesterday, I had a conversation with a recently placed candidate. They're quite senior so have been in the game a while. ❓ The conversation was around the fact that there seems to be a distinct lack of young people, certainly "homegrown" talent that seem to be coming through the interview process. 🛩 There is a huge surge in overseas candidates applying for junior roles but for some reason, we don't seem to be encouraging young people in our education system to join the accountancy and finance sector. 🤷♀️ Is that due to other industries and jobs being a lot "sexier"? 🙅♂️ Is the accountancy industry a dying industry? 👋 Would be interested to hear from someone who considered accountancy and then decided not to pursue it. ⁉ As a Hiring Manager, are you finding the same?? #accountancy #homegrown #talent #pjtgroup
