From Campus to Corporate: Top 5 Skills Global Finance Employers Look for in 2025

In 2025, the finance industry is evolving faster than ever—with globalization, automation, and
new tax regulations redefining the roles of finance professionals. For recent commerce
graduates dreaming of a finance career in the GCC, USA, or Europe, technical know-how
alone is no longer enough.

At Bericht Global Excellence, we’ve trained and placed hundreds of graduates across
international markets. Based on our insights and employer feedback, here are the Top 5 Skills
that will define finance careers in the coming year—and how you can develop them to go from
campus to corporate.

1. Mastery of Global Accounting Standards (IFRS)

    Why It Matters:

    The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are the global language of
    accounting. Employers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, USA, and Europe expect candidates to
    understand how IFRS applies across borders.

    How Bericht Helps:

    Our hands-on training modules include practical IFRS case studies, helping students
    understand real-world application—not just textbook theory.

    2. Practical Knowledge of VAT and GST Systems

    Why It Matters:

    Whether you’re preparing financial reports in Dubai or doing cross-border tax consulting in
    Europe, understanding indirect tax systems like VAT (Value Added Tax) and GST (Goods
    and Services Tax)
    is essential.

    How Bericht Helps:

    We provide dedicated modules on GCC VAT laws, Indian GST systems, and comparative tax
    frameworks
    to make our graduates truly job-ready.

    3. Cross-Border Tax and Regulatory Awareness

    Why It Matters:

    Finance is no longer local. Multinational firms expect entry-level professionals to understand
    cross-border taxation, double taxation treaties, and compliance standards across regions.

    How Bericht Helps:

    Bericht’s international finance programs teach students how to navigate regulatory
    environments in the GCC, US, and EU
    , using real-world case studies and consulting
    simulations.

    4. Communication and Collaboration Skills

    Why It Matters:

    Technical skills get you hired—but communication skills keep you employed and help you
    grow. Employers expect graduates to explain financial concepts clearly and collaborate across
    departments and borders.

    How Bericht Helps:

    From live client interaction simulations to group projects, we coach students to communicate like
    professionals—both verbally and in writing.

    5. Cultural Intelligence and Global Adaptability

    Why It Matters:

    Whether you’re working in a Dubai-based accounting firm or a New York consulting agency,
    understanding how to work across cultures is critical. Employers seek individuals who can adapt
    to multicultural teams and diverse business environments.

    How Bericht Helps:

    Our programs are infused with international exposure—with trainers from multiple regions,
    mock interviews with global recruiters, and case studies from multinational firms.
