yes they do hire people from any nationnationality is not an issue; they will apply pr for you if you are not one.
CPA yes I supppose they do (need to check it out)
Other than big four, there are Chio Lim, Foo Kon Tan Grant Thornton, BDO.
However, accoutancy background (poly, degree or ACCA) is a must for auditing or tax positions. Consultancy is more relaxed.
Thank you! I am a PR and taking a conversion program from engineering to master
of professional accounting; graduating this year end and applying for CPA Aus' thereafter. Do you have any contacts of PRC nationals in big 4? Want to know more about the firms before applying...
