Excerpted from the Brazil Career Guide
Brazilian accounting and finance professionals are in high demand. Many
business establishments and corporations in Brazil now require accountants
and auditors to set up books, prepare taxes, and provide management advice.
Accounting and finance professionals offer management and consulting services,
take an advisory role, and develop flexible accounting systems, which has
been a natural evolution in the profession following the increasing role
of IT in the financial services area.
Many jobs in finance require a bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, or a related field. Candidates with degrees in finance, accounting, economics, and business administration have an advantage in the job markets if they also hold a certification, licensure, a master's degree, or proficiency in accounting or auditing software. For junior positions, employers seek candidates with between one to three years of experience, and for senior or managerial positions experience may even be more important than formal education; employers seek candidates of at least ten to 15 years of experience in the field.
Several finance publications publish industry news and reports, keeping accounting and finance professionals abreast of Brazilian and international business trends. Published in English and Portuguese, Latininvestor is an excellent source for national finance, investment, and privatization information.
This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete guide.
