Career Prospects at SW Accountants & Advisors

if you're a workaholic there's tons of progression

there is opportunity to even reach partner from graduate if you put in the work and time

I think the promotion opportunities are big at our firm. In order to move up the ranks I think you just need to work on more jobs frequently and understand what you need to do and develop your technical skills.

I have not yet had a promotion. I am only 6 months into my journey at SW as a graduate.

I feel like it is a every linear approach, however it hasn't really been explained what you have to do to move up the ranks. I know after a year majority of grads automatically move to intermediate, but from then on it depends on how you are going and where you are on your journey with CA.

There are promotion opportunities for everyone at my company. Working hard is going to present the most opportunities, but there is room for everyone who works here. Those who aren't driven by promotions are able to attend work each day and not worry about their position being made redundant. There is no churn and burn culture here.

Particularly in audit there is quite a linear career progression pathway from junior to manager/partner. As long as you put in the time and effort required, you are almost guaranteed to be promoted.

As long as you work hard, you will be promoted.

Regular opportunities as other accounting firms

The promotion possibilities are wide at our firm, as you can work your way up to partner if that is something you are interested in, you just have to ensure you are putting in the work to make this happen.

Looks as if it is achievable to move up the ranks in a fair amount of time

It takes hard work to move up.

Seems to be a clear path forward. I've only been here for 6 months so nothing further to add.

Promotions happen twice, with partner roundtables in May and November, with promotions announced the following month.

I understand the career progression within my role and what I need to achieve in order to be promoted.

In accounting, there's a pretty clear direction for your career. Every 6-12 months they review salaries and roles.

Promotions can occur every half year dependent on performance. However, it is more usual to occur annually.

Sounds good from previous people, but not until I get promotion I can really comment on it

I would want to be promoted to senior in near future

A clear and progressive promotion path is outlined to us on day 1, setting clear and concise expectations at each level. In addition the performance review and appraisal process is detailed an easy to follow.
