"A career in accounting provides a myriad of opportunities in terms of the various finance roles that are available which include project accounting, IT Finance, Treasury Management, Tax and the traditional financial and business reporting roles. I chose ICAP because of its reputation for being on the cutting edge of new developments and for the lively atmosphere that is ever present in the broking environment.

Working in an in-house accounting position has the advantage that you gain immediate practical experience and familiarity with the internal operations of a particular business as your training will be focused on equipping you with industry specific knowledge and skills."
