Who are we?
We’re a dedicated team of like-minded accountancy professionals. Our clients range from healthcare professionals, leisure & hospitality businesses to renewable energy enterprises and we get involved in issues that affect gaming developers and motorsports engineers.
We are ranked among the UK's top 13 accountancy firms, combining high levels of technical expertise with the kind of personal service often only found in smaller firms.
In 2020, we won the Best Advisory Services category of the new Business Resilience Awards, organised by Accountancy Age. Previously, we won National Firm of the Year, Tax Team of the Year and Graduate and Non-Graduate programme of the Year at the British Accountancy Awards, we internationally re-branded, and we grew substantially with a few high-profile mergers. It's an exciting time to join the firm!
As part of a multi award winning medium sized firm, you will have the opportunity to work with our wide and eclectic client base across the accounting and financial spectrum. That means really getting to grips with the inner workings of a company and finding ways to help them - whether that's working on taxing technicalities or devising strategies to help them fulfil their commercial potential.
You'll have client contact from the very start, that's why your ability to build great business relationships is just as important as your ability with numbers.
What will I do?
You'll be part of the Accounts team working on accounts preparation assignments, so it goes without saying that you need to be someone that can be relied upon to help the team deliver outstanding levels of client care.
Some of your responsibilities may include working closely with your mentor on a wide range of client accounts, working from source documents to final accounts, corporation tax computations and obtaining technical information on clients, where appropriate.
We'll make sure you have the right experience, personal development and training to make your career stimulating and rewarding. We'll carefully balance your practical experience to reinforce your professional training. Combined, these two crucial elements will help you achieve your qualification.
Along with your peers, you will be assigned mentors who will support and guide you as well as dedicated tutors who will ensure your progress and development is on track.
