ACCA

ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) is the only truly global professional accountancy body.

Since its founding in 1904, ACCA has been breaking down barriers to the accountancy profession. Today ACCA proudly supports a diverse community of over 257,900 members and 530,100 future members in 180 countries. ACCA is redefining accountancy. Their cutting edge qualifications, continuous learning and insights are respected and valued by employers in every sector.

To help steer ACCA on this journey, it is looking for two non-executive Council Board members. The Council Board has holistic oversight of the implementation of strategy and supports agile decision making. It currently includes ACCA’s Chief Executive Helen Brand, the President, Deputy and Vice President, three Council Members, and two non-council appointees (which are the roles being appointed to here).

ACCA is looking for exceptional candidates with a range of board level skills and experiences. ACCA would particularly welcome expressions of interest from candidates who have led large, complex organisations and those with experience of branding and marketing and/or the geopolitical complexity inherent to global operations. Experience in and of the UK, China and India is especially desirable. ACCA already has strong representation from the accountancy profession within the Council and Council Board, and is therefore seeking additional, complementary skillsets to ensure effective strategic leadership.

Saxton Bampfylde Ltd is acting as an employment agency advisor to the ACCA on this appointment. For further information about the role, including details about how to apply, please visit www.saxbam.com/appointments using reference QKAL. Alternatively email Belinda.beck@saxbam.com.

Applications should be received by noon BST on Thursday 21 August 2025.
