Public Practice Accountancy

We specialise in public practice accountancy, working across audit, accounts and tax.

That covers everything from trainee and part-qualified roles through to senior and leadership hires, depending on the firm and team structure.

We work with a range of practices — from smaller independents through to larger regional firms — across Sussex, Hampshire, London and the wider UK. Because of that, we see how different teams are set up, where the gaps are, and what firms are actually looking for.

Typical roles we support with include accounts, audit and tax positions at all levels, as well as bookkeeping and support roles where needed.

Whether you’re hiring or open to hearing what’s out there, the focus is always the same — understanding what’s needed and making sure it’s the right long-term fit.
