Accountants and Tax Professionals Looking for a Career Change

Feeling unsettled at work?

Work / life balance becoming an issue?

Is partnership attainable or still attractive?

The job market for accountants has contracted with the economic downturn. However, new opportunities are being created as businesses focus on controlling costs and improving cash flow. Growing regulatory and corporate governance requirements are also raising the demand for qualified and experienced professionals.

Increasing demands to bring in more fees and new clients, or to find savings and manage over-stretched resources can lead to high levels of pressure and stress. Finding someone to talk to candidly about your concerns, about the performance of your firm and colleagues, and the impact on your own career and rewards, can be difficult.

Whether you’re a partner, manager, or recently qualified in an accountancy practice, or an FD, CFO or accountant in industry or the public sector, our experienced coaches can help you gain control over your career direction, understand the options open to you and progress more quickly.

From our backgrounds in the professions we are familiar with the issues you face as your career develops. As you gain experience you may be asking yourself whether you have chosen the right specialism or how to make a change, whether you want or have the potential to achieve partnership, or whether to move to a more commercial, hands-on role. For those who have achieved partnership or a senior executive role, developing management, leadership and business development skills, coping with expectations and preparing eventually for a life outside of the firm can all be major challenges.

That is why we have developed specific programmes for those in mid career and for more senior accountants and partners. Tailored to meet your needs, these programmes help you understand your strengths and transferable skills, identify suitable roles and opportunities, and prepare you for interviews or assessment days, helping you to progress to the next stage of your career with greater rewards and better work / life balance.

Our clients come from all areas of practice and industry including the public and charitable sectors. We also work with HR, training and marketing professionals in accountancy firms. We have a unique insight into the many different career paths available to you – inside and outside of the profession.

We work with individuals holding qualifications with the ACCA, ICAEW , CIMA, CIPFA and the AAT. They have come from or subsequently joined firms including:
