Careers at WSM

People are at the heart of any service organisation and it is our people that are central to our business. We are very keen to hear from people interested in a big firm approach in a friendly, small firm environment.

We offer great opportunities, hands-on experience and an excellent training programme and in return, we just ask for your passion and commitment to reach the high standards we require. Our modern open plan office accommodates the current team of over 50 people and provides an environment where creative, people-orientated professionals can practice tax and accounting without the bureaucratic restraints inherent in a large firm.

Training & Development

WSM is an authorised training office, accredited by ICAEW and ACCA. We are proud to have been nominated Accountancy Age Employer of the Year in 2013.

We support and encourage all members of staff to engage in training courses and workshops, with training to become Chartered Accountants at the heart of our program.

In addition, the continuing professional development of qualified staff remains a vital element in demonstrating our passion for lifelong learning.  In all cases, individual training needs are identified as part of our ongoing review process and external training runs in parallel with our regular lunchtime update workshops.
