Who are Azets
Azets are a leading firm of Accountants and Business Advisers operating across the UK, Ireland and the Nordics, we have over a wide network of employees and an abundance of inspiring opportunities to join one of our many offices.
We are a top ten accountancy firm in the UK and are the number one largest SME practice. With increasing demand from our Private Client base in the East region combined with a strong brand recognition and reputation, the team is seeing a clear opportunity to expand its offering and deepen client relationships.
The growth of the Azets firm and acquisition of Ensors creates a strong opportunity in East Anglia. We have striven to become market leaders in certain sectors, providing opportunities outside our current client base

You’ll step into a well-established, high-profile portfolio of High Net Worth Clients. The client book is enviable with a heavy focus on landed estates, agricultural clients and professional service providers.
The plan is for this person to initially provide additional capacity to the regional private client team. Ultimately the candidate will be in line to take over elements of an existing and highly interesting portfolio as the current partner prepares for retirement.
The role is based in Ipswich. We would consider applicants being based in any other office in the region. The role will require travel as needed to other offices and associated client sites.
