Hi

I currently live in the UK with my son and want to move to Spain.  I am looking for a job in Accountancy I have worked in accounts for over 10 years AAT trained and will be starting ACCA next year.  I am 39 years old and have fallen in love with Spain and it’s culture.  I am looking for someone to take me on and help me find accommodation long term and help with schooling for an 8 year old. Please email me on [email protected]

Hello Jenny hope you are well.

Spain has quite high unemployment. You could try the agencies. In order to compete for work I presume you are fluent in Spanish the national language.

Good luck.

I'd better think twice before doing this to an 8 yr, boy. For finding a job the coast is definetely not the best place. There are branches of quite a bit British companies incl. Lucas-Girling or even the British Embassy. Start contacting the British Chamber of Commerce in Madrid to get a better idea about your real opportunities. Remember Walt Disney's "If you can dream it, you can do it". Lots of luck.

Theres more chance of work in Alicante City with the international companies. The common business language is English.

At the moment your qualifications can be easily converted to the Spanish equivalent. You submit the qualification too Madrid, they check the qualification and a short familiarisation exam may be involved. Spanish corporate tax legislation, allowances are different from the UK.

I programme Tax Training modules for ATT and CTA. In the past we have had trainers and accountants successfully obtain employment in Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona without the requirement for fluent Spanish. The learned Spanish a bit at a time.

Most professional Spanish speak English. In the design industry the common language is English. I hold a Spanish drone pilots license. Initial exams were in Spanish. Now that I have the qualification the common language spoken is English. It’s a Royal Decree that a pilot must have basic English language skills. At some point I have to certify in basic English skills.

You have time to plan, pass the ACCA. Try your boy and yourself with some Spanish lessons. Younger children tend to pick up Spanish quickly. Make a plan for what you want out of Spain. Native English can be an advantage in the employment market.
