Careers
Work that is signed by the person who did it.
A smaller firm means earlier client contact, visible ownership of your work, and a partner who knows what you are working on. It also means fewer places to hide, which suits some people and not others.
Culture
What it is actually like.
Written plainly, including the parts that are not for everyone.
Client contact early
You will be in front of clients sooner than you would be at a larger firm. That is the main reason people join, and the main reason some leave.
Your name on the file
Work is attributable. The reviewer knows who prepared it, and so does the partner. Credit and accountability travel together.
Breadth before depth
You will see compliance and advisory on the same client rather than one or the other. Specialisation comes later, by choice.
Busy seasons are real
There are periods in the year with genuine pressure. We plan for them and staff for them, and we do not pretend they are not there.
Open positions
No roles open right now.
That changes. Speculative applications are read by a person in the practice you name, and we keep them on file rather than discarding them.
Speculative application
Tell us which practice interests you and what you have worked on. Read by a person in that practice, and you get an answer either way.
Graduates and trainees
Applications open continuously. Qualification support starts in year one rather than after a probationary period.
Learning
How people get better here.
Most professional development happens on live work with a reviewer who explains their comments. The formal parts support that rather than substitute for it.
Professional qualification support
Study leave, exam fees and tuition support for recognised accounting and audit qualifications, with the specific entitlement confirmed in your offer.
Reviewed work, with the reasoning
Every file is reviewed by someone more experienced, and review points come with the reasoning attached. This is the main mechanism, not a supplement to one.
Technical updates that are actually used
Regulatory change is briefed internally by the person who has to apply it, not circulated as a PDF nobody reads.
Rotation across practices
Time in more than one practice area before specialising, so the choice is informed.
Benefits
The terms.
Specific figures are set per role and confirmed in writing before an offer is accepted.
Hiring process
Four stages, and what each one is for.
Publishing this is the cheapest trust signal available to us, and candidates consistently say it is missing elsewhere.
Application review
Read by a person in the practice you applied to, not filtered by keyword. You get an answer either way.
Introductory conversation
Thirty minutes on what you have done and what you want next. Not a test.
Technical discussion
A conversation about real work, with the person who would review yours. Bring questions.
Offer and terms
Terms in writing, with the reasoning behind the level and the band explained.
Apply
Tell us what you want to work on.
A short note about what you have done and which practice interests you is enough to start. You will get an answer either way.

- A person in the relevant practice reads it, not a routing queue.
- One reply that already contains a view, not a request to book a call.
- A written scope and fee basis, or a straight answer that there is no work to do.
