Having technical skills are vital, but if you don’t have the professional skills you are not going to make it as a professional accountant, explained ICAEW’s Helen Powling at our recent roundtable event.
The ‘Accountants…time to power up your employability skill’ roundtable looked at the rise and rise of the demand for accountants with ‘soft skills’, and ACCA’s Jamie Lyon said developing your networking skills and personal relationship are also key to a successful career.
The roundtable went out live and there was a whole T Level class from Stanmore College watching and you can watch the whole event too at: https://getrogo.com/pqwebinares/.
A big thanks to our panellists: Daniel Cornes, senior business manager at Reed Finance, Hazel Powling, ICAEW Head of Qualifications Development, Jamie Lyon, Head of Skills, Sectors & Technology at ACCA, and Jonathan Barber, Executive Director – UK at the Institute of Financial Accountants.
