ACCA in Serbia: Recognition, Employers and Career Prospects
ACCA is recognised by employers across Serbia. This guide covers how the qualification is regarded locally, which employers hire ACCA members, and salary expectations.
ACCA Recognition in Serbia
Serbia has a growing professional services sector centred on Belgrade, with significant foreign direct investment from EU companies. The country is a candidate for EU membership, increasing the relevance of IFRS and international accounting qualifications.
Regulatory Context
The Serbian accounting profession is regulated by the Association of Accountants and Auditors of Serbia (SAAS). ACCA is widely recognised by multinational employers and international organisations operating in Serbia, and is particularly valued for IFRS reporting roles.
Key Employers
Employers that regularly hire ACCA-qualified finance professionals in Serbia include Deloitte Serbia, KPMG Serbia, PwC Serbia, Telenor Serbia, NIS (Gazprom Neft subsidiary), and the Belgrade offices of major regional banks including Raiffeisen and UniCredit. Multinational companies typically require IFRS knowledge, which ACCA provides, making ACCA members particularly competitive.

20,000-32,000 EUR at early career level, rising to 45,000-65,000 EUR for senior roles in Belgrade.
