What does an Accounts & Advisory team do?
Our Accounts & Advisory team plays a vital role in assisting our clients to achieve their strategic objectives.
Whether it be advising on technical elements of accounting standards, ensuring that our clients have the right information to hand to make well informed decisions, or assisting to prepare financial accounts, our Accounts & Advisory team spends a large proportion of their time supporting clients to meet their technical and compliance needs.
Using this technical understanding, our Accounts & Advisory team get to understand our client’s businesses and the individuals behind them. They offer strong strategic advice to ensure that our clients grow and develop their business in a way that aligns with their strategic goals.
What do we look for?
We are looking for motivated and enthusiastic individuals who enjoy a challenge and we welcome applicants with a minimum of 2 x A levels (A-C) and one other A level or equivalent 5 GCSEs grades A*- C or 9-4 (Maths and English Language preferred) or equivalent.

If that sounds like you then you could be a great fit at Menzies.
