Have you ever thought about leaving this UK weather behind and living in a sunnier climate? Does the idea of surfing in your lunch hour appeal to you? Or how about soaking up some island culture after work? A secondment abroad can offer this and a multitude of other experiences.

ECHM's international secondments programme offers newly-qualified ACCA’s and newly-qualified and exam-qualified ACA’s and CA’s exciting opportunities to enhance their personal and career development by living and working abroad in a variety of exotic and interesting locations.

Recent secondments have seen placements made in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Jersey, Guernsey, British Virgin Islands, Barbados, Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Bahamas, Canada and New York in a variety of roles within Audit, Tax, Corporate Finance and Insolvency. 

The types of people taking up this option are as diverse as the countries on offer. A common theme is a desire to sample a more relaxed, laid-back outdoors lifestyle where the routine of work takes second priority to living and having fun.

If you are working for a firm with an international presence and have applied internally to work abroad, then you may have already experienced the red tape and bureaucracy that this can entail. Many people are opting to make external applications at the same time to improve their chances of success and dramatically speed things up.

For more information on how the whole process works contact Georgina Collins on info@echm.com or if you want to chat through some of the options available to you please call Georgina on 020 7304 6441. She will then make contact on your behalf to the locations in which you have expressed an interest.
