Rewards and Benefits

Market-leading performance deserves market-leading rewards. In addition to a competitive salary and reward package, we plan to introduce an Employee Benefit Trust (EBT), which will make us the only large firm in the UK to offer equity units below partner grade, enabling you to share in the firm’s growth and success. A material amount of equity for future partners has been held back during the investment period to protect the future generation of partners.

Culture is everything. Our culture is built on trust, flexibility, and inclusion. We support our teams to deliver their best work by having open conversations at the start of each audit to understand everyone’s ways of working and personal commitments.

Your development is our focus. We don’t make empty promises about promotions and progression. To nurture our people into directors and partners of the future, we support development from day one, working with you to set clear plans toward promotion.

We continue to invest in our people’s skills, including a £1.2 million investment in 3D Data-Driven Digital mindset training.

Quality matters. We care about quality and are proud to have achieved 100% on file reviews twice. This is a unique opportunity to join the firm at an exciting period.

Note to agencies – we operate a direct sourcing model but have a formal PSL in place if needed. We will only consider speculative CVs or candidate profiles if directed to the Talent & Recruitment team, not to the Audit practice.
