Overview

Communicating clearly and concisely is a core skill for successful accountants. If you can’t listen to and understand your colleagues’ needs and concerns, and effectively convey your knowledge, messages, and data, you’re not going to be adding real value to your organisation. Whether your role involves presenting complex data, collaborating with clients, or building rapport with your colleagues, your communication skills are essential in driving your career forward.

Becoming an expert communicator will raise your profile, improve your professional credibility, and ensure that your advice has a positive impact. This pathway helps you develop the strong communication skills needed to carry out organisational strategies, use best practice to work more effectively with colleagues, and persuade and influence people. You’ll employ key concepts to communicate with impact and create a lasting impression in situations and forums that matter.
