Catherine Secretary / Receptionist

It seemed like a small friendly place to work back in the day. Obviously over the years PKF Francis Clark has grown into the well respected largest accountancy firm in the South West we know today, yet it has still kept the personal touch.

I am the first point of contact with our clients both on the phone and face to face. It is important that I deal with them in a polite and professional manner, making sure they all receive the warm welcome they deserve. I also carry out any admin tasks that may arise.

The people – they are always willing to go the extra mile.

PKF Francis Clark focus on nurturing staff from the beginning of their careers and fully supporting them throughout.

I started over 30 years ago when the reception area was little more than a building site with a portaloo and wondered what I had come to! I have had different admin roles over the years but now work in a lovely modern open plan office where I am very happy to be on reception.

I am proud to say I have been working here for 32 years!

If you need any help at any time, from technical to health and wellbeing, there is always support readily available.

Being willing and happy to take on any challenges and embrace change.

Go for it, I can honestly say you won’t find a nicer place to work.

Rewarding, Friendly, Engaging.
