We look after our clients really well, but we also look after our team, because we know that their welfare and development are equally as important.
For everyone, personal time when we are not working is extremely valuable, and it is for that reason, that our zero overtime policy was created. Fundamentally, we do not expect any of our team to work more than their basic weekly hours.
Although this practice is quite unique within the accounting industry, we are proud to consistently see average overtime at less than one hour per employee per month.
Hybrid working, core hours, and zero overtime policies mean that our team manage their time better – both in and out of the office.
