The Benefits of Working In a Small Accountancy Firm

The past several years have posed many challenges for small, local firms of accountants. Including finding and retaining staff. Not only is the ever-present skills shortage still an issue but to make matters worse, they have previously found themselves unable to compete with larger firms when it comes to securing quality candidates. They have, until recently, been pipped to the post on deal breakers like salary, flexi-time, home working and extra benefits like bonuses and car allowances. Now, they’re able to offer all of those things and much more. So, what has changed and should you consider working for a small firm of accountants?
See my top reasons below:

At a small firm, clients really matter, not to say that they're not looked after at a large firm, but at a local firm you're entwined in the local community. The work, planning and advice you do genuinely changes their lives and businesses for the better. The impact is significant and can be the difference between failure and growth. Not only that but the workload is extremely varied, meaning you’ll never be bored and your skillset will be stretched.

Working for a small, local firm of accountants isn’t for everyone. Some like the structure and thrive in the rigidity of a large regional or Top 100 practice. However, if you’re creative and passionate about accounting, adding real value and forging your own future then a small firm is for you. At Mark Sattin, we specialise in guiding candidates towards their ultimate career goals.
