My journey started at GCN as a trainee accountant back in 2007. Meeting new colleagues, a number who are now part of the Jerroms Group, I found myself within a company that championed its team and wanted to give every opportunity for individuals to grow and develop. Qualities which are echoed here within Jerroms.

‍

Qualifying as a Chartered Certified Accountant and taking on new and more challenging roles within GCN, I joined Gary and Martin as a Director and Partner in 2021, some fourteen years after I started working with the company.

‍

For the past seventeen years, having started with GCN, and now being part of the Jerroms Group, I have a great sense of belonging and feel very fortunate to work with everyone here. I look forward to growing the Halesowen office to be a leading force within the Black Country for both our team and our clients.

The colleagues and team members I've had the pleasure of working with so far are not only talented professionals but also supportive and collaborative. The leadership at Jerroms has demonstrated a commitment to a positive and inclusive workplace culture. The clear communication of the company's vision and goals has been motivating.

‍

All the above and more made it easier for me to choose Jerroms over other firms, including larger ones like the Big 4, because they include a more personalised work environment, alignment with your values, and unique opportunities for professional development.

‍

In the recruitment process it wasn’t one-sided where I needed to convince I was a right fit, but instead it was a discussion about how Jerroms would be a good fit for me. I like the open plan of the office, making it easy to be able to talk to different departments when needed.

‍

Everyone is friendly and there are so many events put on to give you a chance to speak to people and really feel involved.

‍

I like how invested Jerroms is in the education of their staff, allowing study leave when needed and making sure you get to do the practical side of what you are learning in your studies to help you go further.

‍

Choosing to join Jerroms last year has been the best decision I have made for my career. I have been given the opportunity to do what I enjoy, and I genuinely love coming into the office every day.

‍

The team around me have been highly supportive and have helped me grow my confidence. Leadership are friendly and approachable and have given me the opportunity to add to my skill sets and I can tell they want to see me grow with the firm.

‍

The office location, on site parking and flexible working policy is also a great bonus for me and helps with my work-life balance.

‍

I’m looking forward to what the future holds for myself and Jerroms!

‍

Our management team here at Jerroms are all very approachable, with managers and directors always open for conversation and are keen to hear what we have to say.

‍

In my 2 years at Jerroms I have been promoted and am set to move departments to start a career in Tax…

‍

I never envisioned this as a potential career for myself, but the management are always keen to push you and support you and I’m so glad they did!

At Jerroms we pride ourselves on our training and support we give to our employees to help them progress with their careers. Whether it would be on the job training or fully paid study support, we recognise development of staff as a key driver to making Jerroms successful.

‍

I experience this first-hand 25 years ago starting as a trainee at Jerroms. I am now the audit director and head up a team in which everyone has progressed throughout the years. Seeing the team progress is what gives me the most satisfaction with my role.

‍

The people at Jerroms are very friendly and were so welcoming, ever since my first day. In the five months I have worked at Jerroms, I feel I have settled in well and get along well with my colleagues.

‍

The benefits of working at Jerroms such as quarterly billing target are a nice incentive to help motivate the team and feel like you are being valued for the work you are completing with a reward.

‍

I applied to work at Jerroms for more progression within my career alongside my ACCA studies. I feel that during the time I have worked at Jerroms, I have had more exposure to different areas of accountancy such as preparing corporation tax computations and understanding the rules and regulations around these areas.

Jerroms is a brilliant place for anyone work! From the new trainees to the directors here at Jerroms, you really get the family feel that this company possesses.

‍

I have climbed the Jerroms ladder very quickly since joining the company 3 years ago as a trainee accountant. I have learnt many skills, some accountancy based, and some that also help me in my personal day to day life, such as confidence in talking to clients 1 to 1.

‍

You really do get the full wide range of experience here at Jerroms, and this is exactly why I chose to come and work here!

The team at Jerroms have been very welcoming and supportive.

‍

The company has both a professional and driven ethos but still maintains a personal touch with both employees and clients that you may not find within the big 4 accountancy firms.

‍

As the company continues to grow, we are always looking for people who are passionate and enthusiastic to join our audit team.

I have settled in to Jerroms so well that it feels like I’ve already been here for years which I think really shows a lot for the culture of business.

‍

We are a new HR department here, but I feel that the changes we have wanted to make have been taken on with a lot of support and engagement by all, from the top down.

‍

Being a Head of Department, I am given the trust and freedom from the Senior Management above to make the right decisions and changes that I believe will help improve the business. Having this autonomy over my team and department really help you feel like you are helping make the business a success.
