Working in Business Services

• About the team

  Providing a broad and varied advisory and compliance service, our Business Services teams deliver success by building solid relationships with their clients. They include general practitioners who deliver the strategic support and commercial insight that grows family businesses.

  Whether sole traders, partnerships, limited companies or LLPs, we proactively manage all relationships, anticipating needs and propose solutions from a wide range of services:

  • Management accounts
  • VAT returns
  • Cash flow projections
  • Forecasts
  • Company secretarial matters
  • Credit control
  • Processing and payment of purchase invoices
  • Treasury management
  • Ad-hoc financial and commercial analysis

• What it’s like to work here

  General practice offers a diversity of opportunities across a range of specialisms and, because we collaborate closely, the teams here are social, fun, supportive and diligent.

• Typical projects and clients

  We largely work with family-owned businesses who outsource the management of their financial affairs.

  We also partner larger corporates who don’t need an audit, and professional practices such as solicitors.

  They all trust us to look after their tax, accounts and compliance, and to take a strategic look at modelling and forecasting. Our general practitioners offer expert advice in areas such as landed estates and Trusts, farming and agriculture, and family businesses.

• Our approach to learning

  Learning how to put together a set of accounts and gaining the professional qualifications that go with that is just the beginning. We’ll support the development of your technical knowledge and provide the broad experience that shapes your confidence with clients, ensuring you can capably explain principles, support clients in choosing the best solution and be empathetic to their circumstances.

  Getting exposure to all areas of accounting, growing your technical knowledge and gaining the professional and interpersonal experience to support and enhance this is a blended learning approach that will maximise your development consistently.

• Career pathways

  Business Services offers experience in and exposure to all areas of accounts and so opens a wide range of pathways, whether you want to generalise, specialise or progress through the ranks.
