Sometimes, as a Head of Finance who has a big accounting team and wishes to move the finance team forward, you might be confronted with the challenge of how to nurture young accounting professionals to better understand and execute the finance team’s medium to long term strategies, and of course, to retain these professionals.

So what can we do to retain accounting staff?

Perhaps one answer is to be accredited by Professional Accounting Bodies as an Approved Employer.

As a result, you will gain a constant stream of aspiring personnel who (generally) intend to stay longer in your organisation, hoping to advance further career-wise. One professional body commonly used for accreditation is the the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) under its Approved Employer Programme. This programme is divided into three main streams – trainee development, professional development and practising certificate development.
