A survey of chief financial officers predicts that hiring in the accounting and finance sector will increase during the fourth quarter.
Twelve percent of CFOs surveyed for the Robert Half Financial Hiring Index said they anticipate adding full-time accounting and finance employees during the last three months of the year. Meanwhile, 7 percent said they plan staff reductions. The net 5 percent of CFOs planning to hire is up four points from the third quarter, and is the highest level projected in the past three years.
The index is based on telephone interviews with 1,400 CFOs across the United States.
