"Peace of mind that you're in safe hands" is what accountancy and payroll provider Sapphire wants its clients and employees to feel.
The Stockport-based firm - highly-rated on review sites - supports freelancers and contractors with their financial affairs, so they're freed up to focus on what they do best.
As Sapphire has celebrated its 10 year anniversary in July, the company is focused on becoming "the leading provider of professional services for the UK's flexible workforce". And it sees its transition to an employee-owned company as the key to success.
Not only is it set to bring employees monetary rewards through profit share, it's also reassuring them about the company's future and helping create a culture of innovation and ambition.
The management team encourages everyone to help shape the business offering. And the Great Place to Work Team seeks ideas for creating an even better workplace. This has included setting up a new Sapphire mental health team.
Meanwhile, Sapphire is passionate about promoting employees within its ranks. All directors and the senior leadership team worked their way up, getting a good grounding in the company's mission and values. Every staff member has a career development plan, and some are currently in training for the next available management positions. And the company offers full study support in accounts or payroll qualifications.
My team is fun to work with
A sociable culture helps strengthen bonds between employees and across departments and builds an energetic and enthusiastic team. There are monthly office drinks, quarterly events, charity fundraisers, games nights, office competitions, and even trips abroad for big team-building sessions. The company's great people are also celebrated at the Sapphire awards night.
This job is good for my own personal growth
A bespoke in-house learning platform 'Sapphireology' supports staff to continually progress, learning what interests them in bite-sized modules.

I am happy with the balance between my work and home life
Every employee benefits from a cashback health plan, including dental costs, optical needs, physio and prescriptions. There is also free mental health support, counselling and a 24/7 GP service. And all staff are supported to live better as costs rise, through a lift in base salary pay and financial assistance for travel passes and parking.
