Seattle, Wa Jobs Update

This, just in from Executive Search Director, John Herd, on the state of the Seattle marketplace.

Seattle continues to see a strong hiring market fueled my our diverse economy. We are fortunate that if one area slows down such as timber and financial institutions our high-tech wireless, aerospace and retail are able to pickup and flex. Specifically we are seeing more senior level financial roles coming available along with the usual demand for staff and senior accountants. More and more companies continue to put an emphasis on having a CPA and few of our clients have even gone as far to require all degreed accountants to be a licensed CPA.

This demand has been great for salaries across the board. It should be a great time to be an accountant…

I am working at a Big Four firm in Seattle and looking to leave. I have 4 years experience. Would it be tough for me to find a position?
