Hi all!

Just wanna consult ppl here working in accounting roles.

I was wondering what is the demand for accounting personnel right now?

I know the employment market is grim in sg now. but my gf moved there and i was thinking of making a move too.

I currently working for a US MNC's SSC in msia, handling the GL function. The companies i handled are mainly based in EU and singapore. My company has a HQ in singapore, and i report mostly to the controller and senior managers in SG. i dealt with the finance staff in SG quite often.
I have 1+ year of exp for this company, is it gonna give me an advantage here?

Other than that, I have 3+ years handling full set accounts for sdn bhd, which i believe not worth much in SG.

Education wise, i am an aussie grad with a degree in finance. currently pursuing my prof certs (CIMA to be exact), at the middle level, passed several papers last year, actively studying it now.

i been observing jobstreet and other job sites, seems GL positions are popping up quite frequent, ranging from junior to senior roles. Not sure they consider malaysians anot?

I am thinking of trying my luck applying for cost accounting positions, but its a long shot.

What are my chances?

Not very likely. They only take in the very experienced ones. My boss did told me be4.

Majority of finance work r done here in msia. The maintain a very lean team over there, mainly just managers and couple of specialist.

Wanna ask, is it common in SG to include your photo in the resume?
