Dedicated Services for Mid-Career Accountants and Tax Professionals

As a qualified professional developing your career you may well be considering your next steps. Is your current role sufficiently rewarding? Should you change your specialism or taking another qualification, looking for a role in commerce, or even a career outside of accounting?

Perhaps you are happy with the choices you have made so far, but are concerned about your speed of progression to a senior role, acquiring the skills to successfully achieve partnership or a leading in-house position. Can your existing firm can provide the opportunities you are looking for?

We have a tested career coaching process to help accountancy professionals make the right career decisions, whether you are looking to change direction or to find new opportunities.  Our focus is on tailoring a programme to suit your needs. This can include:

• A psychometric report on your preferred ways of thinking/behaving and implications on career options
• Mapping your transferable skills and knowledge
• Objective feedback on your non-technical strengths and potential – e.g. management, leadership, business development, strategic thinking
• Advice on the career options available to you inside and outside of the accounting profession
• Re-packaging what you can offer in your CV and covering letters
• Advice on how to sell yourself well on paper and in meetings
• Interview practice and preparation
• Sourcing job opportunities
• Impartial advice on job offers
• Introductions to recommended recruitment consultants
• Knowing what you are worth and how to optimise your package

Completing your own Career and Personal Review will help you to take control and not be reliant on recruitment firms. The starting point for this, a Career Options and Job Search Consultation, costs just £145. Career coaching can also help in resolving difficulties with work and conflicts with people in your current job, or looking at what is involved in moving away from a finance role. Many clients tell us that having an experienced sounding board helped them feel much more confident in making well-informed decisions about their future.

Simon Broomer, a qualified lawyer with experience across the professions, leads our team. He has provided training and development for accountants, tax specialists and other professionals for 12 years, helping them plan their careers, change career direction and find satisfying new opportunities. In 2003 Simon completed a postgraduate qualification in Career Management & Counselling at the University of London.

We take a cautious approach, recognising that you have invested significantly in qualifying and in growing your experience. To get an objective view on the options open to you come and see us before you start talking to recruitment consultants.
