Our people
Everyone brings their own strengths. And together, we make a difference for our clients and support each other.
“I feel like I belong here. It’s a really enjoyable place to work, the ethos is all inclusive. My team is lovely, we all help each other; no-one is under undue pressure because we all pull together.”
Pam, payroll assistant“Every day is different and the projects I am involved with are constantly changing and evolving. The finance team are brilliant, hardworking and supportive. We genuinely turn up to work every day looking to make a difference, to help the business and deliver a great service.”
Matt, commercial finance manager“I love having a role that enables me to be constantly challenged with technical work and that also gives me the opportunity to coach and support others in the team so they develop in their own careers.”
Rachael, senior manager, audit“I’ve got flexibility and I’m completely empowered to do my best work when and where I want to, ensuring it suits my clients, team, and personal commitments. I’ll often log on early or late so that I can fit in a quick 30-minute Peloton ride between meetings!”
Jim, resourcing manager“I’m speaking to interesting clients. The amount of trust put into me, especially by my manager surprises me. I was expecting to just be doing the teas and coffees!”
Jaicob, AAT trainee accountant“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.”
Archie, ACA trainee accountant“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!”

We’re the largest firm of chartered accountants in the South West so our size gives me plenty of opportunities.”
Emily, ACA trainee accountant“The best things about being an AAT trainee at PKF Francis Clark are the career progression opportunities and the learning and development focus, and that everyone is very approachable.”
