Our people

“I’m so glad I got this job, my team are amazing and the work is so interesting. That’s due to the broad range of clients, anything from small independent businesses to well-known large corporates.”

“I joined PKF Francis Clark having qualified as a chartered accountant with Deloitte. I was drawn to the wealth of experience within the corporate finance and advisory team and could see that joining them would further my own development.”

“I have a lot of autonomy in my role which allows me to explore and develop things in my own way. My role taps into my natural strengths so I am always being my authentic self at work. I am a huge fan of collaborative working and the firm is bursting at the seams with talented experts who want to be part of the solution and support each other to get the best possible outcome.”

“I am so fortunate to have a genuinely brilliant team of talented individuals who are dedicated to delivering results and having some fun along the way. I aim to give my team a sense of purpose and then empower them to achieve it through trust and compassion.”

People are willing to help and explain things. It is easy to approach and talk to my colleagues. I didn’t come from an accounting background so there was a bit of a learning curve, but I am figuring things out and improving. Having people here who support me means a lot as it has increased my confidence. The social side is good too.”

“I’ve done a range of things I am proud of here. I’ve organised events and conferences, helped write policies, transitioned to a role with a lot more responsibility and helped open our Bristol office. I now feel well established in my role – it’s as if the role is just right for me.”

“With a bit of luck, I will be qualifying in the summer. It is clear in my mind that my success will have been in no small part due to the resources that PKF Francis Clark have provided. It will have been a long three years, but enjoyable too. I come out of it feeling valued and ready for the next challenge.”

“We generally go off-site to study in blocks of a few days, and this is split between teaching and revision courses. The training is quite demanding at the start, but you quickly begin to feel more comfortable as you can apply what you are learning in your day-to-day role. As every topic is studied over a few months we have enough time to consolidate what we have learnt ahead of the exam.”

“You can go to anyone with questions, or ask our in-house experts about specific queries around tax and VAT. I’m now enjoying learning about the advisory side of accounts and how to build strong client relationships. I’m getting great experience across a very wide range of clients.”

“I love the responsibility I am given on projects. I have a lot of autonomy and the team are very open to considering my ideas, even though I’m relatively new to this! I am trusted with challenging projects but also given support when I need it.”

“I was thrilled to discover that I could become a Wellbeing Champion. The role involves promoting campaigns, sharing knowledge, and organising local activities and events. Most of all it’s about encouraging colleagues to prioritise themselves in a fast paced, and at times, demanding environment.”

“The people are friendly and make this more than just a place to work. There is a support structure, and having managers who care about your wellbeing is a huge bonus!”
