The Central Government clients that Select Accountancy represents all want the accountant to make a valuable contribution on the delivery of central services. Due to the range of services available, there are sub sectors of speciality within each remit.

Central Government are heavily regulated and under intense national scrutiny. Therefore Select Accountancy requires any accountant to be registered with us for Public Sector opportunities to not only be technically strong, but also be comfortable with the processes, structures and reporting methods required to fulfil legal obligations. Project delivery is also an important skill. We know this is important to our central government clients and make sure that we deliver this.

Select Accountancy has witnessed the most sustained period of change within the structure of Central Government since our inception. Quangos, agencies and third party authorities have become synonymous with central government and this has created unparalleled opportunities both within the interim and contracts markets and also permanent fields across all levels of public finance professionals. However this growth has also meant that the supply of professionals is limited. Consequently central government clients need to know that the recruitment consultancy they choose can deliver these individuals.

Select Accountancy does not insist that those registering for Public Sector finance opportunities have Central Government experience provided that candidates demonstrate the relevant skills sets from alternative backgrounds, and demonstrate a relevant interest.

Salaries and wage rates within this sector are becoming more competitive compared to the private sector and other areas of the public sector. One area that is certainly being taken seriously within Central Government is the promotion of a work-life balance and supporting those people who wish to forge a career within the Public Sector.

Select Accountancy are also Diversity Assured Recruiters. This in effect means that any recruitment undertaken through us is done to the highest standards and consequently protects you.

Select Accountancy continuously registers professionals for central government. Therefore if you wish to employ accountancy support staff, part-qualified and qualified accountancy and finance professionals, whether that is with the traditional CIPFA qualification or an ACCA, ACA, ICAS or CIMA qualification, we will be able to offer a number of options.
