Overview

We are a start-up. And it's early days. As it's such a small team, chemistry is key. I'm a personal believer of "meaningful work and meaningful relationships." "Meaningful work" means you will always understand why you do, what you do and the impact of your work on our clients. It does not mean the absence of "tedious" work. Although if it gets too tedious too often, we should be asking the question "Can we do this better; i.e. automate this? "Meaningful relationships" means that we care about our clients, and seek to make a difference to their businesses. This is a first permanent hire into a start-up accounting practice, and presents an opportunity for rapid progression.
