Finance professionals are benefiting from the current tight job market in the UK. According to Robert Half’s 2024 Salary Guide, employers continue to battle for talent amid skills shortages and a historically low unemployment rate.
Employers have the intention of giving 41% flat-rate salary increases across all sectors, although their ability to do so is in question.
Nearly half of employers surveyed (47%) intend to hire finance and accounting staff, with the most in-demand technical skills being financial modelling and data analytics.
