:: Accounting & Finance |
Excerpted from the Sweden Career Guide
The number of jobs for qualified finance and accounting people in Sweden,
particularly those with experience, has increased in recent years, allowing
more people to find employment directly after obtaining their degree. In
general, however, the industry outlook is good; new job opportunities for
accountants and finance consultants will continue to grow in the IT, media,
and consulting sectors. Business globalization is placing high demand on
candidates with language skills and experience from working or studying
abroad.
Most jobs within accounting and finance require a university or a college
degree and/or work experience in an accounting or finance-related field.
A financial degree from upper secondary school allows professionals to work
in banks or insurance companies, but for higher positions, a more advanced
is required. To apply for a job in this field, you will have to show a certificate
verifying your educational degree. To work as an auditor or accountant,
you will need to become a member of the Swedish Accountant Association,
which requires a special form of license. This allows job applicants to
use the title "revisor." This designation requires a university
or college degree in accounting, as well as five years of practical experience
as an assistant to an accounting professional. Other occupations in this
field do not need a specific certification of skills; a degree and work
experience is enough. Registration in some sort of central professional
registry is not required to work in this industry.
This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete guide.
