Compliance Director & Practice Manager | Ovation Finance Ltd | Certified B Corp
Ovation Finance is an award-winning firm that helps its clients and employees accumulate life, not just wealth. We’re a firm with strong principles and a firm believer in doing the right thing. The best test we use is “Would you advise your Mum to do that?”. We take great joy in the work we do for our clients and take pleasure in seeing them create the lives they want to live.
Who are we and why would you want to join us? We’re a warm and welcoming team who have created a harmonious, approachable and easy-going environment. We trust each other to get the job done which creates a sense of pride and ownership in what we do. We will always do the right thing by our clients and each other. We care about the environment and our social impact on society, which is why we’re extremely proud to be a certified B Corp firm.
You’ll be nurtured through your professional life, with internal and external training and exam support provided. We’re a non-judgemental team who have a willingness to learn and take the time to celebrate success! We’re transparent with our pay bands so all employees can see what they need to do to increase their pay and move into the next pay band.
We care about your personal life and want to ensure our employees have the right work-life balance. We nurture this through flexible working, mixing home working and office based, of which full home working equipment is provided. Family comes first which means we’ll provide flexibility to fit around your family. We value supporting employees, which is also why we offer full paternity pay and enhanced maternity pay.
What makes us really different is that we’re employee owned. What this means is that you’ll become a co-owner of the business as a beneficiary of the Ovation Employee Ownership Trust. We find this brings a sense of pride and ownership to our roles and everyone is able to positively impact the business and have their voice heard. Financially, you’ll benefit from profit share at the end of the year. Everyone is entitled to their share, so based on the remaining profit at the end of the year, everyone gets a piece of the pie!
