Rayner Essex LLP

Due to the seasonal nature of the work within its tax team, and it being very busy in the lead-up to the personal tax deadline on 31 January, it has amended the hours to account for this variation in work.
Management information is cascaded down from the firm's leadership and shared with individual department heads, so that this information can then be shared more widely within teams. The staff partner also shares a monthly newsletter, which shares updates on the firm's financial performance; introduces new staff members and celebrates employee achievements.
The firm is very active socially and believes that building relationships outside of working together helps teams to work better together. The firm has regular informal social events, including end of months drinks, and bowling nights. The firm also has an active social committee which organises a calendar of events.
