We don’t work to unrealistic timescales and never accept client work that we are unable to fulfil.
We manage our employee levels with the aim of ensuring our team numbers are 15% over capacity, so that nobody feels overwhelmed or under undue pressure.
Consequently, our team have the appropriate time to focus on their work – time to think, time to analyse, and time to bounce off one another with ideas. This approach leads to improved job satisfaction and greater levels of client service.
We asked members of our team “What do you like best about working at Shorts?”

Our policies provide greater flexibility over the hours worked each day.

"Having worked at small accountancy firms for 8 years, I was apprehensive about joining Shorts – being much larger than what I was used to. I was concerned I would be treated as a number rather than an individual. I needn’t have worried.
Since working for Shorts I have met some fantastic people, that are supportive and inspiring. There are people from all different backgrounds and that’s a really great team to be part of, being able to learn from the experiences of others."
