Employer Description:
The Smart Accountancy story began back in 2009 when Mark Smith decided to open his own accountancy firm. After building a wealth of experience up at a local Worcestershire firm and then working for an international subsidiary company as Finance Director, he wanted to introduce a fresh new experience for local businesses. From the very beginning, the vision of Smart Accountancy was to give businesses a tailored service focusing on not only the client’s present requirement, but future ones too. Over the years, this personalised philosophy has embedded itself into everything we do and allowed us to create a community of local clients.
