Find your dream job abroad with the launch of Robert Halfís FinanceJobsAbroad.com

A new website, FinanceJobsAbroad.com has been launched to help finance and accounting professionals find their way ñ and their jobs ñ when travelling abroad.

Launched by specialist recruitment agency Robert Half, FinanceJobsAbroad.com is a one-stop international job and opportunity website for finance and accounting professionals.

ìThe demand for highly skilled financial talent is a global one, and we are seeing a significant increase in the number of finance professionals looking for overseas job opportunities,î says Greg Scileppi, Robert Halfís director of international operations. ìWith more than 350 offices worldwide, Robert Half is well positioned to meet this demand.î

The website currently covers three popular destinations for finance professionals ñ the UK, Australia and New Zealand ñ with other destinations to be added in the next few months.

The UK is well known for its international workforce however many accountants that are UK citizens also have a desire to work aboard, in fact the recent Robert Half International Workplace Survey revealed that almost half of UK finance professionals surveyed would like to work abroad at some point in the future as they believe it would enhance their careers.

For each country, FinanceJobsAbroad.com offers advice on planning your trip, what to do before you leave home, finding a job and somewhere to live in your new country, what different cities and locations offer, tips and tales from other travellers, and planning your return home.

ìIt is useful for people planning a working holiday or a more permanent career move as well as those who are returning home to their country of originî, says Scileppi. ìWe realise that people are at different stages in their careers.î

By visiting FinanceJobsAbroad.com, travellers can get in touch with a Robert Half international candidate manager, who will help them find work in their country of choice. Visitors to the site can also search and apply for jobs online.

Phil Sheridan, Robert Halfís UK Managing Director, says FinanceJobsAbroad.com is a great resource for UK citizens travelling to Australia and New Zealand.

ìThe worldwide shortage of finance and accounting professionals at a global level presents UK accountants with opportunities to develop their careers through international experienceî says Phil Sheridan. ìBy creating FinanceJobsAbroad.com Robert Half has essentially developed a free to use ìonline middlemanî, benefiting the individual, the business and the country where the individual has chosen to work.î
