With plenty of opportunity for growth, Smith Partnership is an exciting and dynamic place to work.
Smith Partnership has a very effective, modern management structure that is flat and streamlined. The partners lead by example, and are very open and approachable.
- [Extract taken from Smith Partnership’s 2023 Lexcel audit]
There is a sound and open risk management culture in the firm, typically described as ‘there’s no finger pointing here’, and people are confident in raising any problems with the managing partner, and their line manager and colleagues generally.

People continue to be developed as they progress, acquiring necessary qualifications with the support of the firm. Partners and line managers are thought to be very effective – good at coaching and knowledge sharing.

While we appreciate that workplace experience is the best way to kick-start your career, regrettably due to data protection and client confidentially, something we take very seriously, we are unable to offer any form of work experience, vacation schemes, seasonal or voluntary placements at any of our offices.
