Curious? Feel free to get in touch with Siobhán Sexton in Barden (siobhan.sexton@barden.ie) for more information.

Your newly appointed dual role at Barden will involve leading talent advisory and recruitment teams across Leinster while also supporting the Managing Partners. Can you tell us what that role looks like in practice and how your time is split across those responsibilities?

As Head of Organisation Development, my role has a dual mandate. On one side, I oversee our strategy process, from idea development and resource allocation to implementation, rollout, and communication. This spans areas like growth plans, operational improvements, change management, L&D, culture, and commercial projects.

On the other side, I lead a team of talent advisors who partner with clients on critical appointments across HR, business support, and other strategically important management roles.

It’s almost impossible to split my time evenly; projects vary on a case-by-case basis, depending on business and client needs. What excites me most is being part of Barden’s growth journey. After six years here, it’s fulfilling to be in a role where I can get stuck into both the day-to-day and the strategic elements of the business, helping shape the future of Barden while staying close to what matters most.

You recently completed the Executive MBA at Trinity. How has that experience influenced the way you advise clients and Barden’s Managing Partners?

Completing the Executive MBA at Trinity was influential both professionally and personally. Balancing life, full-time work, and an MBA over two years was challenging, but it strengthened my resilience and gave me the skills and confidence to meet any expectations, made all the easier when surrounded by the right people. The academic side was equally valuable; the diversity of modules and projects mirrored real-world business challenges. Combining industry insights with academic detail and consulting projects for leading Dublin companies has shaped the lens through which I view Barden, from internal strategic initiatives to advising clients on key business decisions.

While leading talent advisory & recruitment teams in areas including Operational Finance, HR, and Business Support, you also work on exclusive senior appointments outside Barden’s core areas for our key clients. Can you give us a sense of the types of roles you’re working on and why these positions are so strategically important for clients?

Sometimes, clients engage me for roles that are not at the executive search level but are still commercially or strategically critical to their business. These might involve discreet searches for sensitive appointments or building out a new function by hiring a head of department. In these cases, I provide a tailored, exclusive search process, acting as a partner rather than simply sending CVs.

These are typically senior appointments, often at pivotal moments for a business, for example, the first “Head of” hire following PE investment.  In these cases, we act as embedded partners rather than a one-off engagement, building long-term relationships and guiding clients through critical decisions.

A significant part of your role is now supporting the Managing Partners. Why was this role created, and how does it reflect the shift towards deeper talent partnerships and more advisory-led work with clients? 

Over the past five years, Barden has evolved rapidly, and it has become clear that strategic initiatives can’t rest solely on the founders’ shoulders. This role was created to serve as a central hub for strategy, aligning internal development with external growth plans and ensuring we build a business that reflects our values.

As a profession, we are moving more and more toward advisory-led offerings, and long-term embedded partnerships are key to our success in the years ahead. My role supports that shift by working on both strategic planning and operational execution. Projects vary in size and scope, but an example might be aligning culture to strategy or shaping initiatives that help people in Barden realise their potential and, in turn, provide a high level of support to our clients.

Ultimately, this role is about creating the right environment for growth, both for our clients and for our own people. It’s the engine room driving Barden’s next phase of evolution.

Over 1,000 accountants who finished their training contracts in 2025 attended our CASSI & Barden webinar and live events over the last year. Those who attended had lots of questions, many of which we got to answer on the day. However, time didn’t allow for us to get through them all. We also thought those who couldn’t attend might be interested in hearing the answers too!

We put the questions to our resident ACA Talent Advisors and here’s what they said:

QUESTIONS ON MOVING FROM PRACTICE TO INDUSTRY (AND VISA VERSA)

Q: Is it better to stay in a Big 4 firm after qualification or move to industry? Is it better to get your Post Qualification Experience (PQE) within a training firm or in industry?

A: It’s hard to get objective advice on this one. A partner will always want you to stay on. A recruiter will more than likely advise you to move. Let’s try to get an objective opinion by looking at the question through different lenses. There is no one right answer and this will very much depend on you, your interests and long-term career objectives.

You should seriously consider staying on to become a manager post-contract if:

• You wish to become partner;
• You’ll gain exposure to a different client base;
• You get to move into another department that will help you move your centre.

You should not consider staying on to become a manager post-contract if:

• You don’t wish to become partner;
• You plan to move to the client-side or to industry in the long-term;
• You weren’t fulfilled by the work you did in your training contract.

We hear advice on a regular basis that goes along the lines of: “You should stay on to become an audit manager and then you’ll be able to move to the client-side or industry at a higher level when you do make the move.”

This statement is fundamentally incorrect.

Here’s why: if a company is looking for a financial controller or finance manager, for example, they will (99 times out of 100) look for a qualified accountant with ‘x’ years of post-qualified experience outside practice because their first choice will always be someone with practical experience as a financial controller.

For the vast majority of hiring managers, there’s no contest. Practical industry or financial services experience post-contract wins. You’ll move up in salary and benefits as time goes by in practice. You’ll become increasingly valuable in practice but you won’t be appreciating the same value for client-side roles – your peers who moved straight out of training contact will. As a first or second-year manager in external audit, you’ll still be well-able to compete for internal audit, technical external reporting, and project-based transformation positions. Broader financial accounting or analysis will likely become increasingly difficult to access.

For more considerations, check out this blog piece we wrote on this exact topic>>>

Q: What experience do hiring managers look for in a recently qualified accountant? (i.e. leading projects, if they were asked to stay on in practice, etc.)?

A:  The answer depends on who’s looking.

Relevant exposure to similar companies and organisational structures is typically #1 on the list. Hiring managers might also look to see if you got a chance to work with the firm’s more high-profile clients… if you have, don’t be shy about putting that on your CV and discussing it in an interview.

Hiring managers review performance rating, FAE results, and general academic background.  Additionally, they typically look to see if you took on any special projects or secondments or if you were involved in any extracurricular activity for your firm (grad training etc..).

For niche roles, they will, of course, seek niche experience (technical exposure to a particular IFRS for example).

Any/all of the above should be clearly stated on your CV.

Q:  I work in industry and don’t have practice experience. I think this may undermine my career potential. Should I get practice experience?

A:  Ultimately it should not matter if you trained in practice or in industry.  What matters is the calibre of the people you trained with and the calibre of the training you received.

A KPMG-trained accountant and a Kerry Group-trained accountant will have an equal shot at a mutually relevant role.  Some job specs will say “Big 4 trained” on them – what it really means is “big company trained”.

If, however, you have trained in a small company and want to work in a larger corporate, a stint in a big practice will stand you in good stead. The exposure you get from interacting with larger clients will stand to you when applying for roles with larger companies in industry.

Q: Do you have any tips on moving into corporate finance after qualifying? (is a diploma in corporate finance a prerequisite?)

A:  To be honest, transitioning into corporate finance (CF) straight after qualifying or from another department (like tax) is not something that typically happens in a single step. The ‘like with like’ principle applies here – you’re more likely to access a CF role if there’s some overlap with your current or most recent experience.

If you’ve trained in a small practice, you’ve likely had small company exposure, while most CF activity happens in larger organisations. Gaining experience with larger companies (through audit, restructuring, or similar) is a good first step. You can then revisit the CF route internally after 12–18 months.

If you’re in tax, the approach is similar. Aim to be the best in your intake at Excel and financial modelling. Be open to short-term or contract work to gain relevant experience, and consider transitioning into a related team (like transaction services, valuations, or due diligence) as a stepping stone.

A diploma in CF isn’t a prerequisite – it can help, but it won’t guarantee anything. What will help is being numerate, articulate, and deeply committed to the move. Internal transitions tend to be easier than external ones, but be prepared to take a potential pay cut initially.

The reality is that many people want to move into CF, but only a few make it straight away. It’s not impossible, just less likely. Those who succeed are typically the sharpest, most diligent, and proactive in positioning themselves for the opportunity.

QUESTIONS ON WORKING ABROAD

Firstly, read our updates on the market abroad here>>>>

Q: What is your view on working abroad after your training contract and what would be the best way to get work abroad? 

A:  Big fan of working abroad – world/life experience is hugely valuable (and the earlier you do it the better for lots of reasons).  Maybe take a contract in industry locally for 12 months before you go (just to give you a shot at the better jobs when you move), but working abroad in your first couple of years PQE (assuming it’s with a good company/role) is never a bad thing.

Connect with a local recruiter in your target country to get a feel for the situation on the ground before you go (Barden can get you some names and emails of people pretty much anywhere in the world).  Send them a soft message saying you will be moving to London/Canada/ Australia, etc. and say something along the lines of you would be delighted to get in touch more formally closer to the time.

Another very good piece of advice to consider before moving abroad is to use your network, people you may have trained with in your trainee contract, been in college with, or played sport with, who may have already moved to the place you are looking to move. It is 100% worth doing: reach out, let people know your intention to move, as they may be able to help you with roles before they ever go on the market. Considering your contact may be getting on very well there, the employer will see their reference carry a lot more weight than even the finest-looking CV, so be sure to use your network.

It is worth bearing in mind in particular if you are moving to Australia where you will most likely be operating in the contract market, contract roles tend to be needed at short notice and the processes can be fast moving, if you reach out a few months in advance the recruiter most likely wont be able to do much for you, but a friendly message expressing your intentions for further down the line may leave a good impression on them.

Other alternatives might be to work with an Irish company and move internationally with them in time or work in Internal Audit (IA) and travel the world while still remaining anchored in Ireland.

Q: In relation to tax exams, I’d be very interested in how useful they are as you move abroad. I understood the exams to be very ROI specific and that they don’t translate abroad i.e. you need to do additional exams – what’s your advice on this matter? 

A: Yes, the tax exams are specific to Irish Tax legislation, but many tax professionals secure roles abroad in jurisdictions with similar rules (e.g. UK and Australia), and some tax qualifications in Ireland have international recognition through affiliate networks.

Of course, some Tax Consultants who move abroad choose to also complete the relevant tax qualification in the country where they are working, but it’s not always a requirement. Many of the tax professionals who move abroad tend to secure roles as financial accountants, which allows them to further broaden their experience and skillset, so this is also an option.

QUESTIONS OF CVS AND TRYING TO STAND OUT

Q: How could recently qualified accountants stand out when applying for jobs? Especially given that there are so many “Big 4” qualified accountants coming out of contract in April?

A:  It’s hard to stand out in a great crowd.  Check out our CV advice section here >>> for some details on how to do your best to get noticed. We also provide a personalised CV advisory sessions, feel free to reach out to any of our Barden consultants to register.

Q: What are the most standout characteristics/skills/interests sought after in industry? Please let me know if there are things I can do now that would help my CV.

A: Ultimately, it’s about exposure to relevant organisational structures (for example, group functions), relevant activity on the supply chain (for example, manufacturing vs retail), and relevant industry exposure (FMCG vs pharma).  If you know you want to work in a particular company/industry then you should do your very best to get exposure to similar clients and when applying or interviewing for jobs, focus the conversation on your most similar clients and experience.

Q: Do you have a CA-qualified CV template?

A:  Why of course – drop an email to cassi@barden.ie OR check out our guide here >>>.

We’ll even do one better for you… If you want one of our recently qualified accountant recruitment team (all of whom are Big 4 trained Chartered Accountants themselves) to cast an eye over your CV, just let us know at cassi@barden.ie.  We’d be happy to help.

QUESTIONS ON FINDING JOBS AND RECRUITERS

Q: Where is the best place to find job opportunities?

A:  A good talent advisor/recruiter in a reputable firm should always be your first port of call (of course we’d say that!!).  Drop us a line at cassi@barden.ie, or ask around to get referrals; a good recruiter, who specialises in accounting, who is an accountant themselves, and who is interested in giving advice is WAY better than any Big 4 Partner, auntie in HR, or friend that moved jobs recently, for advice on getting the right job and access to the right job.

LinkedIn, Irish Jobs, Indeed (and similar) and your own network (your manager from 2 years ago that has left etc.) are all other very credible sources.

Q: If possible, can you provide a bit of an assessment on recruiters? Could you potentially explain whether recruiters are the best way of finding a job in the industry?

A:  Just so happens that we wrote an article on just this topic. Check it out here>>>> or just drop us a line (to cassi@barden.ie) and one of the Barden team can give you a steer.

QUESTIONS ON SETBACKS 

Q: What is the best way to present setbacks in your career thus far, like exam repeats, training contract terminations, etc.? Do you try to gloss over them or try to dissect the situation?

A: For newly qualified accountants who struggled to pass their exams or faced setbacks like training contract terminations, these challenges can make it harder to access larger, corporate teams. However, setbacks are an opportunity to show how you’ve overcome adversity, learned from it, and grown stronger as a result.

If there were mitigating personal circumstances, be honest about them – transparency can help contextualise the situation. But more importantly, demonstrate your resilience and what you’ve gained from the experience. Flexibility regarding the role or company can also make a big difference in making a fresh start.

The further you progress post-qualification (PQE), the less relevant earlier setbacks become. Experience you have from dealing with a setback/ overcoming a problem in your trainee contract will carry more weight than it would from your college projects/ or part-time jobs. And remember, some hiring managers actively ask for examples of setbacks to understand how you handle challenges and whether you bring the grit and self-awareness that can be invaluable in a corporate environment.

OTHER QUESTIONS

Q: What’s the best way to find out if a company culture is a good fit for you?

A:   The simple answer is to meet the people there.  You should get a very good insight into the company culture from a two-stage interview process with the hiring manager. Use interviews as an opportunity to find out as much as you can about the people you will be working with. Company culture is defined by the people who work in the company, not by some set of values on a website.  Find people you like, admire, and respect, and you’ll be on the right track.

Q:  What advice would you give someone on the flexible route who is not in a practice/training contract?

A:  To be honest I’d give the very same advice as I would to people in practice.   Our Newly Qualified Career Guide here >>> covers lots of those basics and the advice/tools apply regardless of where you worked when you completed your exams.

However, the like-with-like concept means that you will have only gained exposure to one (or two) types of companies/structures rather than to many types as you would in practice.  That said, your practical accounts prep experience could well give you an edge; a lot of people who trained in larger practices don’t have this experience. Make sure to highlight this on your CV! If you want specific, granular advice on this relevant to your experience/circumstances, drop us a line at cassi@barden.ie, and one of the team can give you a call to discuss.

And that’s a wrap!  For more details on any of these questions and for expert advice, bespoke to you and your future, just drop an email to any of the Barden team or to cassi@barden.ie, and Barden will look after you from there.  Easy.
