Recruiting in these fields is challenging due to the specialized knowledge required in areas such as bookkeeping, tax laws, financial management, and accounting standards (like IFRS and US GAAP).
Additionally, advanced qualifications such as CPA or licensed tax accountant certifications are often required. There's also strong demand for bilingual professionals with IT and English skills, which intensifies the competition. On top of that, the shortage of younger professionals and the challenge of training the next generation make it even harder to find candidates who are both skilled and ready to contribute right away.
