Dedicated Services for Partners and Senior Accountants

As a busy professional your workload does not often allow you a step back to look at your career and what may be the next steps for you personally. Is your current role sufficiently challenging or rewarding? Is it still enjoyable, or are the demands of partnership or senior management too much? Would setting up on your own be a better option?

Perhaps you are happy with your career choices, but want a new challenge or a change of scene. Where else would your skills and experience be valuable?

You may be considering how you can give more priority to personal and family needs, or even starting to plan for your retirement.

We have a proven career coaching process to help accountancy professionals make the right career decisions, whether you are looking to change direction or to find a new opportunity.  We tailor 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
• Expert guidance on whether working for yourself will suit you
• Coaching to improve business development or people management abilities
• Writing business plans and rehearsing presentations for partnership or a new role
• Completing strong, tailored applications for very different roles (e.g. in the Public Sector)
• Interview practice and preparation
• Sourcing job opportunities
• Impartial advice on job offers and negotiations
• Introductions to recommended recruitment professionals and head hunters
• Knowing what you are worth and how to optimise your package
• Developing exit plans or plans to establish your own business
• Planning for work and recreation after retirement

Completing your own Career and Personal Review will help you to take control and achieve a more rewarding work / life balance. The starting point for this, a Diagnostic Career Consultation, costs just £175. Career coaching can also help in resolving difficulties in your current role and gain clarity over whether your future lies in private practice or outside. Many clients tell us that having an experienced sounding board helped them better understand the different options open to them and feel more confident in making well-informed decisions going forward.
