Accountants and Financial Services CSEP for Ireland
At Actus, we understand the challenges that accountants and financial services professionals face when it comes to securing permits. The financial services industry is inherently global, leading to a growing need for global shared services centers. As the fields of accounting and finance continue to evolve, new roles have emerged in areas like funds, fintech, and risk management. To help clarify these requirements, we’ve outlined the job titles in accounting and finance that qualify for a Critical Skills Employment Permit (CSEP) in Ireland.
