Employees and partners working together to find clients the best solutions is “part of Alliotts' DNA.”

The London-based accountancy and business advisory firm – with a diverse range of clients from owner-managed businesses to complex global entities – respects individualism amongst its almost 100-strong team. It welcomes ideas and encourages a culture of continuous learning and autonomy.

For example, Alliotts now offers specialist services to video game companies after an employee identified a gap in the market. They were part of the process from conception to roll-out, working with marketing to develop and promote a fixed-price offering.

And the company encourages staff to identify their training and development needs, supporting them to fulfil them. Recent examples have included helping an employee transition to a new in-house role following work experience and funding an employee to undertake job-related ‘soft skills’ training alongside technical training.

There’s structured development on offer too, from training for aspiring and junior managers to a leadership development programme for more senior ones. And employees can also take an international management course with Alliott Global Alliance. Delegates recently enjoyed a trip to Barcelona to meet others on their course.

And other factors make Alliotts a great place to work, including its recent across-the-board pay rise to support cost of living increases, flexible hybrid working approach and generous ‘finder’ payments for introducing new clients and colleagues.
