It’s no secret that gaining a professional qualification in accountancy or finance is an important part for any industry professional seeking to build a successful and long-term career.

It’s also important for businesses to have the qualified employees working for them in order to drive standards and bring the right skills in to benefit you as you grow.

Yet, it’s not always possible to hire candidates that are already qualified. As such, it’s increasingly common for businesses to provide study support to their staff in a bid to help them build their knowledge and technical skills and ultimately, to help them qualify.

If you have staff working for you that are currently undertaking or considering their ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualifications, it’s fair to say that providing the option of study support offers up a number of benefits not only to your employees, but to your business as well.

Benefits such as:

1. Improved staff retention
2. Greater employee engagement with your business
3. Your staff feel more valued and feel that you’re interested in their progression and future
4. The length of employee service increases – 18 months on average
5. You will identify any areas of development and gaps in your team’s technical accounting capabilities
6. Your teams get greater exposure to additional finance and accounting functions bringing new skills into your business
7. It’s a great candidate attraction tool and a highly sought-after benefit/perk for finance and accounting professionals looking to further their careers
