Banking and Finance Sector
Finance and financial services are the circulatory system of business and the basic practice of ACA Worldwide.
The Ukrainian Financial Services sector is characterized by a clear trend towards consolidation and transparency. Local players are seeking opportunities to become affiliated with well-positioned international institutions. Major trends include regional development and implementation of best practices in management, products and services. Most banks and insurance companies attract both foreigners and Ukrainian nationals with relevant international experience to launch new lines of business, such as Consumer Finance, Mortgage Banking, Private Banking, Life Insurance and Credit/Debit Cards. We observe a growing tendency by international companies towards “Russification”, preferring to hire more Ukrainian managers for top positions. At the same time Ukrainian companies tend to be more client-oriented by hiring foreign executives to compensate for a lack of local expertise in some areas.
ACA Worldwide consultants have access to the Ukrainian leading professionals — both in the financial sector as well in other industry sectors. We execute a wide range of search projects for key financiers from other sectors. Also, we execute searches for key financial standings for Ukrainian holding companies. Each of the professionals of our team is specialized in a certain segment of such practice, including commercial and investment banks, companies, indulged into asset management, what allows us to achieve complete understanding of the market by means of specific awareness of all its segments. Therefore we are able to quickly and effectively define which talents will be solicited in the market, and where they can be found.
