I'm working with a boutique firm in the Shire that has been established since ****. The Partner has 30 years in the game, genuinely down to earth, no ego, and has built a team who like to stick around. It's a boutique firm, all 5 staff have been there between 4-13 years. In this industry, that tells you everything you need to know.

The firm - what makes them different?
n
It's not a big firm pretending to be personal. It's a small team with a varied, engaging client base (small businesses, medical, gyms, physios, mum and dad groups, property investors, plus some complex $1m to $5m clients).
n
They've grown about 10% a year and are actively looking at acquisitions, so there's real room to grow with the place, not just do the same job for five years.

They operate on a fixed-price model, so there's no timesheets.
