Company Information
As a leading firm
of accountants and
business advisors
in the UK, with
over 100
associated firms
around the world,
we're proud of our
reputation for
combining
excellence in
training with an
informal, friendly
work environment.
Being a mid-tier
firm, and not one
of the 'Big Four',
works in our
favour. Because of
our size, we're
less bureaucratic
and can offer
greater autonomy
to staff. We're
also more dynamic,
offering real
scope for
independent ideas
and decisive
action.
Our organisation
strives to provide
all employees with
a challenging and
rewarding
day-to-day work
environment, and
this philosophy
starts at the top.
Martin Goodchild,
Managing Partner,
says "PKF's
continuing success
depends on giving
our people the
chance to use
their knowledge,
creativity and
hard work to
really make a
difference".
If you join us,
you're likely to
get involved in a
wide range of
activities right
from the start. A
good example of
this is the
cross-section of
clients with which
we deal, ranging
from small
family-owned
businesses, to
large plcs in all
industry sectors,
to major charities
and public sector
bodies.
For us, treating
our clients as
partners in
business and not
simply customers
makes commercial
sense. For our
clients, it's our
friendly, informal
approach that
frequently makes
them choose us
ahead of our
competitors.
As well as
offering you
variety in the
work you do, we
encourage you to
take
responsibility at
an early stage.
Daunting initially
perhaps, but
tremendously
satisfying when
your contribution
really counts. We
encourage all
employees to
develop, as we
recognise that you
are the future of
our business.
Fee Earners
We recruit our
fee-earners from a
wide range of
backgrounds, with
some recent people
including:
- Qualified
corporate
recovery
partner.
- Hotelier for
our hotel
consultancy
department.
- Private Finance
Initiative
specialist for
our management
consultancy
service.
- Forensic
accounting
specialist.
- IT advisor for
our management
consultancy
service
We employ a
diverse group of
professionals,
which adds to our
ability to service
a wide range of
clients.
The opportunities
don't end there.
With our
international
network of more
than 8,000 people
in over 100
countries around
the world, we're
flexible enough to
offer employees
the chance to
expand their
horizons through
work experience
abroad. Recent
secondments have
been arranged for
Australia, New
Zealand and the
Bahamas.
At the more senior
level we are
always interested
in discussing new
business
opportunities or
service lines, and
welcome the chance
to talk to
partners who are
looking for a home
for their ideas.
Professional Support
Our professional
support staff make
a huge
contribution in
helping drive the
business forward.
That's why we
strive hard to
provide a
stimulating and
challenging work
environment and
provide the
personal
development and
career
opportunities you
are looking for.
Across the
country, we offer
a range of careers
which support and
enhance the work
of our fee earning
professionals.
In particular, we
recruit
professional
support in the
following areas:
- IT
- HR
- Marketing
- Facilities
- Administration
- support
As well as
providing training
in everything from
the latest
computer software
to leadership
skills, we
encourage all our
staff to study for
professional
qualifications.
This ongoing
commitment to
continuous
learning and
development gives
you the tools to
develop your
potential and move
your career in the
direction you want
to go.
But our commitment
to you does not
end there. We
value the views of
all our people,
which is why we
conduct an annual
UK-wide survey on
the issues that
affect them. The
positive results
of this year's
survey reflect our
continuing efforts
in staff
development. And
we follow up the
survey, by holding
offices and
department
meetings to
discuss the
results and agree
appropriate action
plans.
