Participant Benefits
Suzan has extensive experience in finance and accounting management and wishes to remain professionally active after retirement. NTL arranged a flexible, job-sharing consulting role that allows her to continue leveraging her expertise: she comes into the office one day a week and works remotely for the remainder of the time, enabling her to re-enter the workforce without disrupting her daily routine.
Full Story
An Israel-headquartered technology company with a Hong Kong branch requires stable finance and accounting support. However, the Hong Kong team is too small to justify a full-time senior accountant, yet urgently needs a professional who is familiar with Hong Kong’s local compliance requirements and can effectively coordinate financial matters with the overseas headquarters. This talent gap is difficult to fill in the market: candidates with the requisite qualifications are generally unwilling to accept part-time arrangements, while less experienced individuals are unable to perform the necessary duties.
Meanwhile, Suzan has many years of finance and accounting management experience. Although she has stepped away from full‑time employment, she recognizes that her accumulated expertise still has ample value to contribute. What she needs is not a traditional full‑time role, but a flexible professional platform aligned with her current life stage and pace.
NTL identified a precise match between Suzan’s professional background and the company’s needs and assigned her as a Shared Accounting Consultant. The work arrangement was tailored to accommodate both parties: she is on-site one day per week and provides remote support for the remainder of the time, overseeing daily financial management, coordinating financial matters with the Israel headquarters, and handling local compliance and administrative requirements. This flexible arrangement effectively balances the company’s operational needs with Suzan’s personal work cadence.
The company was able to engage a senior finance professional at part‑time cost, obtaining professional support equivalent to that of a full‑time senior accountant while keeping fixed personnel expenses under control. Suzan’s deep understanding of Hong Kong’s compliance landscape, together with her hands‑on experience in cross‑border financial coordination, effectively filled a hard‑to‑resolve market skills gap and provided reliable support for the company’s stable operations.
For Suzan, this collaboration confirmed that retirement is not the end of one’s professional contribution. The flexible work arrangement enabled her to continue leveraging the financial expertise she has accumulated over many years in a way that aligns with her personal pace of life, extending her professional impact on her own terms.
Suzan’s case illustrates NTL’s unique value in flexible talent matching: by leveraging flexible work arrangements, NTL precisely aligns the deep experience of senior professional women with companies’ concrete needs, maximizing benefits for both parties. Professional expertise never expires; the key is finding the stage and platform where it can be most effectively deployed.
