Financial recruiter Think Global Recruitment has found that lifestyle is the key reason that accountants choose to relocate overseas.?

According to Think Global Recruitment’s annual survey of more than 100 accountants living abroad, 40% stated lifestyle as the main reason for relocating. ?

Other motivational factors included work experience, weather, developing language skills and money.?

Think Global Recruitment’s managing director, Abigail Stevens, said “Interestingly, our survey found that although 79% of accountants were financially better off after relocating abroad, lifestyle rated as a significantly higher motivator for living and working overseas than financial rewards.?

“Only 7% of respondents nominated ‘money’ as a factor that prompted their decision to relocate overseas, meaning it is an added bonus that international exposure often results in greater disposable income.”
