Ian Blackhouse, Audit Advisor
We have an extremely varied role within the Business Advisory team, which can be involved in anything from preparation of annual statutory accounts, monthly and quarterly management reporting, assisting with client outsourcing requirements, cloud accounting and VAT return preparation. The team also benefits from working closely with other service lines and having the opportunity to support clients across various sectors.
I enjoy the variety that comes with my role and the opportunity to work with such an extensive range of clients from different industries and backgrounds, as every day brings about a new challenge. I also feel very lucky to work with a great group of colleagues within the Business Advisory team, as this plays a huge part in my day-to-day role, and really is what makes the firm stand out in my opinion.
Emily Walton, Business Advisory Assistant Manager
We work with companies of all sizes, from start-ups and family businesses to multinationals. This can involve supporting in the navigation of a merger, making a strategic acquisition or the selling of a business.
The varied nature of my work is something I enjoy, working with businesses of differing sizes, sectors and locations means two jobs are never the same. The job is also extremely social, being an inquisitive and people person goes a long way!
Sam Harrison, Corporate Finance Advisor
We work with clients to support their Corporate Tax needs. This varies from Tax Compliance to Advisory work covering specialisms including International and Large Corporate, Innovation Tax and Expertise, Expertise to Entrepreneurial Taxes and Tax Audit. We work collaboratively across offices to service our clients who vary in size, background, and industry. With the breadth of areas we cover, every day is different.
Why I love my job
I get to work with amazing people who support my development in lots of different ways. I feel trusted to take initiative to accomplish tasks and I’m encouraged to work on my personal goals. I really like the flexibility we have and the modern attitude the firm takes to working. The office also has a great buzz and there’s lots of young people – so the social life is a bonus!
Emily Ross, Corporate Tax Assistant
My team provides bespoke tax advice for individuals in all areas of personal tax. We specialise in several areas from international tax and globally mobile individuals to high-net worth individuals and IHT. We work on a large portfolio of clients across all our locations and assist them in terms of tax compliance, advisory and disclosure needs as well as end of year tax planning.
In Private Client, not two days are the same. I get to work in a collaborative team where client service is our number one priority, and I am pushed to develop my technical and soft skills daily. I have the freedom to form my own client relationships and lean on other members of the team for support when I need it. Everyone in my team is approachable and friendly which makes socialising with colleagues really fun as well.
