Working in the United States

The United States has long been a destination for work and opportunity. In every field imaginable, the United States has companies looking to grow and innovate.

United States' business environment

The United States has low government regulation. The United States dollar is the default currency in international transactions and the movements of its central bank, the Federal Reserve, reverberate across the global economy.

Employment opportunities

Most of the large accounting firms conduct annual recruitment exercises for final year accounting students from overseas universities.

Working conditions and lifestyle

While most business is centred in large metropolises like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston, it is not uncommon for large companies to be based in modest towns or suburban centres.

Work permits

An employment visa is required for foreigners working in the United States. Information on visas is available on the United States Department of Homeland Security: Citizenship and Immigration Services website.
