&lt;p&gt;At least that&#39;s what Patrick Gorman and Jodi Wechsler, co-founders of executive search firm iFind Group, say.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;embeddedObject&quot; src=&quot;http://content.screencast.com/users/dloos/folders/Jing/media/c9d9e962-3dce-4215-803c-c73cce165958/00000124.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;114&quot; height=&quot;162&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;To back up their claim, the dynamic duo say that bulge bracket banks and megafunds (investment firms with more than $5 billion in assets under management) will &quot;continue to hire accounting and finance professionals.&quot; In addition, &quot;continued regulatory/tax changes from Washington will result in the vigorous hiring of back-office professionals to account for these new rules.&quot; And &quot;a return of capital to start-up hedge funds [will make] the CFO job market more active.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Outside of accounting, the two &quot;also have seen an uptick in private equity job openings&quot; due to PE&#39;s recent surge in the last part of 2010.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As for who in the finance job world will hit home runs in &#39;11, Gorman and Wechsler say it &quot;will be those &#39;junior&#39; staff and senior accountants who have been given responsibilities above and beyond their pay grade.&quot; They explain that &quot;due to firms&#39; post-recession frugality, CFOs and COOs hired less-expensive, less-experienced staff and put them in roles that were highly complex and typically given to historically more senior (and more expensive) workers. Thanks to this &#39;fast-forward&#39; work experience and exposure, this &#39;rookie&#39; class of workers will reap major benefits throughout 2011 and beyond.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As for who will benefit the least during the Year of the Accountant, according to Gorman and Wechsler, it will be the CFOs. &quot;Although they will gain deeper management experience through the additional time spent mentoring/teaching their junior staff, they may not get compensated for this time.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(FINalternatives)&lt;/p&gt;
