THE FIRM
Career Opportunities:
Chartered Accountants tend to be perceived as processors rather than innovators, score-keepers rather than players. We believe this perception is nonsensical. If you aspire only to becoming an excellent
number-cruncher, then you will find life much too challenging at
Simmons Gainsford.
Our clients are, for the most part, ambitious growing businesses and they have made it clear to us over the years that they need their accountant to work alongside them to build commercial success. They look to us for inspiration and guidance to help them fulfil their entrepreneurial and financial goals.
This is why, at Simmons Gainsford, we become involved with clients' businesses as though they were our own, encouraging and advising on the formulation of strategy and helping clients to implement plans. We are there to advise on maximising profits and wealth creation, in line with clients' personal aspirations. We are there to help them do better business. True, some number-crunching takes place, but that is not what clients value most from us or, by extrapolation, what the partners of
Simmons Gainsford value most in our staff.
Besides the traditional accountancy services of audit and tax compliance, we offer specialist advice in areas such as:
Career
Opportunities for Graduates:
We recruit three to four graduate trainees each year - considering both those with relevant and non-relevant degrees. Our criteria for selecting candidates are extensive but first and foremost we look for enthusiasm, a disciplined approach to tasks and good interpersonal skills.
Our partners do not sit in ivory towers while staff report through managers. The number of managers is small, and, on all audit assignments for instance, the professional staff involved report directly to the partner who looks after that client. This has two important benefits: it makes sure you, from the time you join us, learn to understand our clients as we do; and you will gain hands-on training from the most experienced amongst us.
Trainees' work is regularly and routinely reviewed and you will have the opportunity to discuss your progress and training needs with managers and partners, both formally and informally. Responsibility will be steadily increased as you learn and as you take on more demanding assignments, including the supervision of those junior to yourself. We seek always to provide good promotional opportunities for valued staff.
The Training
Environment:
Simmons Gainsford is fully committed to training, as demonstrated by our early involvement as one of the pass member firms. We aim to achieve the highest standards of professional education for our professional staff, up to and beyond qualification. This is manifest in the wide range of internal and external courses we offer, designed to enhance our technical knowledge and ensure up-to-date handling of clients' affairs.
However, we regard on-the-job training as an important element in the development of trainees. This is where you learn to keep an entrepreneurial eye out for new opportunities for our clients, and add some practical, commercial thinking to your contributions.
Our working culture is friendly and open; we participate in social and sporting events with our clients and other firms to strengthen relationships; and regular staff meetings provide a forum in which any suggestions or grievances can be aired.
If you are ambitious and keen to learn fast and gain early responsibility, we can offer you a challenging, supportive and rewarding environment in which to work and to gain your chartered accountancy qualification.
