Think Trevor James is currently working with a firm looking to add an audit senior to their team. The firm are a well-respected independent firm in the black country. They have a client list a top 50 firm would be envious so lots of good technical exposure with opportunities to learn and progress your career. Their flexible working is better than others in the market with flexibility around start and finish and some opportunity to work from home when business allows. A young partner team means they are looking to modernize and drive the business forward so this is a great time to join the firm and be part of the future. The best thing I can say about this firm is that people are the top of their priority list whether that being their clients or their team.
