If you are interested in making a difference while making a living, then why not use your numerical know-how to support charities? ICAEW Chartered Accountants play a key role in making sure groups are able to raise and spend funds effectively.
Working as a chartered accountant in the charity sector offers you the opportunity to use your skills in finance and accountancy to support a cause that you are passionate about.
You could find yourself working to raise the profile of fundraising projects one week and ensuring donations are accurately recorded and allocated the next.
Working within the voluntary sector offers chartered accountants and ACA students the opportunity to use their financial acumen to make a real difference in the world.
Whether you want to support your local community, the natural environment or causes that affect people all over the world, you can work for an organisation that is dedicated to a cause that means something to you and that will ensure you enjoy great job satisfaction.
