Accountant Professional Writing

As the job posting at Joseph Michaels, Inc. -- a top recruiting firm for executive CPAs -- demonstrates, the need for certified public accountants in business of all sizes and in all industries is quite high. In certain firms, it is more advantageous to hire outside accountants on a contract basis, but the cost savings and the efficiency of hiring in-house accountants is often quite high, especially in medium- and large-sized organizations. Especially when firms are attempting to enter into foreign markets, hiring accountants versed not only in the language but also in the culture, values, and practices of other countries and peoples can become highly necessary. Such growth efforts create greater demands and complexities for accountant positions than would be encountered in standard domestic operations, and the need for in-house personnel with the advanced specializations to effectively incorporate the accounting standards and practices of the company with those of the target market country is greatly indicated. This creates a unique need in hiring during such international expansion efforts, enhancing and specializing the need for certified public accountants that already exists for the majority of the world's corporations.

Though the company has utilized the services of accountants in the past, this hiring opportunity marks a transition for the company as it heads into new territory. As the company is hoping to expand its operations internationally, specifically into the Chinese market, the needs of the organization insofar as its accounting staff are changing drastically. The new hiring that the company hopes to engage in directly reflects these changing needs, and is an attempt to fulfill them. The hiring of personnel that are fluent in the Chinese language and in cultural and business practices is vital for the successful expansion of this or any other company into the Chinese market, and it is for this reason that the candidate has been selected. The fact that there is no precedent for this company in hiring such individuals on an international basis is precisely the reason why such hiring must now occur -- as the company moves from domestic to international markets and clients, it requires sets of employees that it has not needed in the past. Had such hiring taken place on a regular basis in prior years, the staffing needs of the company would already be largely met. As it is, the new duties that will be required of the candidate filling the position being hired for cannot be performed by anyone working for the company, nor by anyone in the domestic labor market that could be easily found, and that would be as current in their knowledge of Chinese language and culture and thus as proficient in their performance of expected duties.

As a medium-sized business consulting and accounting firm, Michael G. Sweeney and Associates is unique in its ability to adapt directly to client needs, creating value as the client defines it and responding quickly to changes in the legal and practical constraints and freedoms that business of all sizes must contend with every day. By expanding operations into China and acquiring Chinese-adept personnel to enhance the staff available to meet the company's growing and changing needs, Michael G. Sweeney and Associates will be able to offer uniquely tailored services to businesses with operations in both the United States and China, or business that are themselves hoping to expand operations from one domestic market into the international markets.
