Jon the Hat Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Hi there For all you accountants out there - is it worth applying for CPA membership under the mutual recognition agreement with CIMA? I am thinking it may help overcome the potential not getting past the first round of Resume review due to not having worked in Australia (although 14 years for an ASX listed group). Your thoughts and experiences welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up being approached by an Australian company via LinkedIn, and I would hope that the CPA helped get my profile in the target range. It really depends on your field, for me it feels more box ticking than value added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am working for an ASX listed company, but no presence in Perth and few jobs at my level anyhow, so we are going it alone. I may have to step down to a senior manager role to get work I guess, but for the right company that isn't a drama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
