Savvy Accounting is an equal opportunities organisation, and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds, without prejudice.

The company

Savvy Accounting seeks to provide what it feels is a unique level of service and support to small businesses and the self-employed. Recognising that access to a Financial Director and Finance team is often out of reach for organisations of this size, we provide a value-for-money business partnering service, offering a full range of traditional financial offerings, as well as the role of trusted business advisor.

Savvy has been set up by Alex Ardizzone, whose background is working for large blue-chip companies, managing finance teams and delivering a wide range of finance services. Since having her daughter, she has decided that there is a gap in the market for a different type of accountancy firm, hence the creation of Savvy. She is building around her a similarly customer-focused, financially-minded and savvy team.

The recruitment process

Please send a private message to me with your CV attached and a covering letter to explain why you think you would specifically suit this role and our company. We are looking for someone who can start as soon as possible, but we also want to conduct a fair recruitment process, to find the right person. Suitable candidates will be contacted by the phone over the next fortnight, with interviews set up for 19-23rd March, ideally with a decision made by the end of that week.
