To help address staffing shortfalls and alleviate the workloads of their full-time teams, companies are turning to temporary and project-based professionals while they ride out the economic recovery. In addition, a growing number of employers are using temporary-to-hire arrangements as a means of evaluating workers for full-time positions.

Delaying the hiring process too much can also affect the morale and retention of existing employees who may feel theyve waited long enough for reinforcements. Voluntary turnover is rising as professionals feel more confident about leaving for other opportunities, and in-demand professionals often are receiving salary increases when changing jobs.

Employers must offer competitive salaries to hire top professionals. Signing bonuses are reappearing in some markets as a way to secure candidates. Annual and discretionary bonuses, promotions, training and development opportunities, and flexible schedules also have proved to be effective tools for attracting and retaining sought-after talent.
Unemployment rates in areas such as accounting and auditing and financial analysis are frequently well below the national average.
To guard against turnover, companies need to reward their best people now, not after they receive another job offer. Counteroffers are becoming increasingly common, but most employers would rather not have to extend one since this strategy has proved ineffective and damaging to staff morale.
CFOs were asked, How important is it for entry-level accounting and finance professionals to have gained work experience in the field while in college? Their responses:
Very important
26%
65%
Somewhat important
3% 6%
Somewhat unimportant
A masters degree in business administration (MBA) remains valuable for senior finance and analyst roles. For entry-level accounting positions, a degree in accounting is more important than ever. Prospective employers also are taking a closer look at grade point averages and campus involvement when evaluating early career professionals. Candidates with technology skills remain in demand. Advanced knowledge of Microsoft Excel and Access is valued by employers across the board. Companies also seek professionals who can assist with upgrades of the most widely used enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Experience with software packages such as Microsoft Dynamics GP (formerly Great Plains) and QuickBooks is often requested by small and midsize firms. Other sought-after skills include financial reporting and analysis, forecasting, and budgeting. Organizations also look for accounting and finance professionals with outstanding interpersonal abilities. Employers need staff skilled at communicating financial information using a variety of media for diverse audiences.
The CPA designation continues to inspire confidence in employers and remains the most frequently requested and versatile credential.
Positions in Demand
Financial analysts Demand for financial analysts exceeds the supply in some cases. Companies place a premium on business-savvy analysts who can help identify trends in financial data and offer timely input for decision making. Candidates with strong communication skills and an MBA are highly sought. Business systems analysts Employers are working with business systems analysts to support better decision making by enhancing their financial systems. As firms continue to upgrade their information technology (IT) infrastructures, demand is accelerating for professionals who are familiar with company-specific ERP systems and possess finance and technology expertise. Accountants Companies seek accountants at the staff, senior and manager levels. Demand is especially strong for those with at least three years of experience and a CPA designation. Many firms that lost midlevel staff in recent years due to cutbacks or attrition are eager to groom new hires for future leadership roles. Compliance officers With the regulatory environment constantly evolving, businesses need compliance officers to oversee activities and report directly to top management. A law degree is often required for executive positions, as are strong leadership and communication skills. Auditors Demand is growing for auditors in public accounting and industry. Companies have a need for auditing services related to compliance and lending requirements, as well as due diligence reviews. IT auditors Individuals who understand the interrelation between IT audit procedures and business process controls and risks are highly sought. Cost accountants Demand is steady for skilled cost accountants who can help companies minimize costs by merging accounting and analysis skills in a manufacturing environment. Controllers As they rebuild their finance-function infrastructures, growth-focused companies continue to hire for this critical role.

Spotlight on Healthcare
A broad set of factors is driving growth in the healthcare field, and employers are hiring to keep pace with the changes. Organizations need accounting and finance staff who can help manage and support new technical requirements, regulatory mandates and growth objectives. Perhaps the biggest trend driving hiring is the move to the value-based reimbursement model. In particular, facilities need financial professionals with technology expertise who can manage the resulting changes to their systems. Another major factor influencing employment is the meaningful use regulation, a component of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act. Healthcare organizations need senior-level finance professionals to complete operational assessments and determine financing for electronic medical records systems implementations and upgrades. The move to ICD-10 also is contributing to employment growth. As healthcare organizations, health insurance companies and medical practices all shift to the updated classification system, there will be demand for experienced finance personnel with expertise in areas such as revenue analysis, chargecapture analysis, and billing and coding compliance. Throughout the industry, there is demand for compliance professionals who can help their firms meet evolving mandates and keep the business current with changes to Medicare and Medicaid. In addition, revenue analysts are needed to decipher financial data and identify potential problem areas, and project managers are in increased demand to handle initiatives related to electronic medical records. Organizations across the industry will be affected by the Affordable Care Act and have begun assessing how the resulting requirements affect their businesses. To comply with the provisions of the law, firms will need compliance specialists, as well as finance professionals who can assess potential tax penalties and credits.

To vie for talent, accounting firms are improving compensation, but they may need to further enhance their efforts.
Although public accounting firms have a growing demand for staff, they are competing with businesses that also have a renewed interest in adding people with some of the same sought-after skills. To vie for talent, accounting firms are improving compensation, but they may need to further enhance their efforts. Retention deserves special attention as experienced accountants who feel overworked and undercompensated may begin to consider private industry jobs that can boast higher salaries and better work/life balance. In addition to offering competitive pay, public accounting firms are working to attract and retain top performers by promoting opportunities for career growth and a team-oriented work environment.
candidates who can improve processes and document and implement the required changes. There is notable demand for professionals who have obtained the Series 7 license. Spurred by low interest rates, the retail and commercial lending environments have improved, which has led to demand for relationship managers from community, commercial and private banks. Operations professionals are needed to support renewed consumer loan activity, especially mortgage lending and refinancing. Roles related to loan origination, underwriting and credit processing are among those steadily being added. While in many instances investment banking firms are trying to contain personnel costs, they are nonetheless hiring for risk and compliance positions. Banks are expanding their market, credit and regulatory risk teams to safeguard their businesses from the volatile trading environment. Compliance-focused professionals are needed to interpret continuously evolving regulatory requirements for their firms and implement processes to ensure these mandates are met. Laws such as the Dodd-Frank Act and the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act are likely to lead to continued compliance-related hiring. In addition, the adoption of new trading platforms has fueled demand at banks for business analysts and product subject-matter experts. Among financial institutions, the competition for skilled accounting and finance staff has intensified. Accountants are sought to manage finance transformation, regulatory accounting and cost-control efforts. As the internal finance function has taken on a more strategic and consultative role within financial services, employers need professionals with commercial accounting skills to assist with budgeting, forecasting and business planning. Salaries in the financial sector are rebounding, and top candidates in high-demand specialties are receiving multiple job offers. Employers are seeing the need to be more flexible in negotiations and are increasingly willing to sweeten their compensation packages to land the most in-demand candidates, who are in short supply in many markets.

Example: Senior business analyst at a midsize company in St. Louis 1. Locate the position and national salary range on Page 16 for a senior business analyst at a midsize company. (The salary range is $70,750 to $92,750.) 2. Locate the index number for St. Louis on Page 24. (The index number for St. Louis is 100.3.) 3. Move the decimal point in the index number two places to the left (1.003). 4. Multiply the low end of the national salary range ($70,750) by the index number as a percentage (from step 3). $70,750 x 1.003 = $70,962 5. Repeat step 4 using the high end of the salary range ($92,750). $92,750 x 1.003 = $93,028 6. The approximate starting salary range for a senior business analyst at a midsize company in St. Louis is $70,962 to $93,028.
