Public Sector


This sector page contains all our financial services and finance jobs in the public sector. Careers and jobs within the public sector can include everything from working for central government, local government, and government-related bodies. Included in this sector, we have jobs at central banks and government regulatory bodies, as well as jobs at government treasury departments (managing central government expenditure and cash flow), the civil service, education and the health service (where public). Within the public sector, a financial job can include everything from accounting and financial management, to managing local government investments, to actuarial jobs managing a government's pension commitments, to senior finance jobs and investment consulting jobs, or working in public sector strategy and IT.

A pivotal role is played by accountants in the public sector. They are responsible for ensuring that assets are properly managed, costs calculated, targets met and poorly performing areas identified. The public sector is being more closely scrutinised with employees dealing with taxpayers' money and governments globally under pressure to reduce expenditure.

Internal auditors and cost accountants, financial accountants and the chief finance officers with overall responsibility for managing the financial affairs and risks of the organisation are examples of accounting jobs within the public sector. Accountants within the public sector frequently have specific public sector qualifications. In the UK, for example, this is the CIPFA, run by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy. Internationally, there is the Certificate in International Public Sector Financial Reporting (Cert IPSFR), run by the ICAEW.

Within this sector, we also include roles in public sector treasury management departments at a local level.The local government organisation's investment and cash flows and the control of risks associated with those activities are managed by these departments.

Not all jobs in the public sector involve working within government directly with plenty of private companies supporting public sector operations. For example, most big accounting firms have thriving public sector practices employing auditors to perform independent public sector audits. Teams to help with IT projects or conduct reviews of public sector service delivery are employed by the Big Four Accounting firms. There are roles for private companies in areas such as investment and lending to 'not-for-profit' organisations, and providers of public sector financing solutions.

Although it is up for debate, financial jobs in the public sector are generally perceived as being lower-stress than those in the private sector. Decisions made in the public sector generally have a social as well as financial dimension and balancing competing social and financial requirements can be both interesting and challenging.
