The company's progressive business model is based around flexible hours and home-based working (except where travel is required for client and team meetings), facilitated by cloud-based technology.
This approach is ideal for working parents whose talents are often lost to the accounting profession due to lack of flexibility.
Professional development is also a priority for the business - because the chance to grow professionally is still important when you work from home. We offer training contracts for our part-qualified employees and actively promote further professional development for our qualified accountants - which is particularly important for those team members who are training providers & authors themselves.
Advances in online accounting systems, Skype and social media have all contributed to the success of AE in recent years. The team are spread across the country, but it rarely feels that way, and flexible hours mean we can be available for conference calls with US clients at times to suit them.
Now, with a strong team, and a move among many SMEs towards cloud software solutions, AE is positioned well to continue growing - and innovating.
