Accountant - Practice - hybrid

My lovely client is not your average accountancy practice. Yes, they do all of the standard compliance work to keep their clients safe and HMRC happy, but they also genuinely care about the success and development of our clients’ businesses.

Their team believe that clients who are empowered to understand their numbers can make better informed decisions and more effective decisions.

They take great pride in helping their clients see through the fog of technical jargon to discover their business potential, helping them set plans from from here to there, and helping them undertake the journey with confidence.
