About you

We need you to not only have a love for numbers but love problem solving, have great attention to detail, with a can-do attitude and business awareness.

As a people focused profession, the client is at the centre of everything we do and we strive to deliver excellent client service, we need you to embrace this and be comfortable having open and honest conversations.

Your Home…

Ditch the Big City myth: thriving as an Accountant is not all about the London look. With offices in Exeter, Wells, Yeovil and Melksham, why not go southwest?

And from flexible working to a plethora of perks you can enjoy a genuine work-life balance. Happy employees and happy teams = productivity and success.

Because being happy at work boils down to a feeling… When you feel respected, you feel motivated; when you feel trusted, you feel empowered.

Reading between the lines, it’s that shared desire to learn, grow, and collaborate that keeps us all on the same page.

Your Perks…

You’ll love your job so much you’ll never want a holiday… Just kidding. You’ll get 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, and an extra day off for your birthday bash.

Old Mill employees are growing minds, not static functions – funding for professional qualifications and transferable skills training is provided vivaciously.

Working with numbers…, of course, you love a bargain – so you’ll enjoy the staff discounts on savings on mobile phones, utilities, clothes and more…
