Types of jobs

Consultant: public or corporate

As a consultant, you provide advice on subsidies, from two distinct perspectives. You analyse the objectives of grantor bodies and you advise companies or public organisations on opportunities and the potential of subsidies to leverage their strategy. You ensure that subsidy applications are formulated in a way that maximises the chances of acquiring particular grants. Because the legislation and regulations are so specific, you will work either for public organisations or for companies.

Financial specialist: public or corporate

As a financial specialist you will advise clients on financial and legal requirements relating to incorporating cash flows from subsidies, how to set up record-keeping and administration, and how to optimise their reports. You are responsible for financial reporting on their subsidy projects or you support them in this area. That may include being seconded to the organisation or providing software tools and manuals. Your role may vary from setting up an AO/IC to advising a Financial Director on a subsidy portfolio containing many projects. Because the legislation and regulations are so specific, you will work either for public organisations or for companies.
