Ellacotts, a leading independent accountancy firm in the UK, takes pride in its focus on 'Enabling Success' for both clients and employees. With a team of 114 dedicated professionals across offices in Banbury, Birmingham, Kettering, and London, Ellacotts specialises in several niche sectors, including Agriculture & Property, Academies, Charities, and International business. The firm's core values - Progressive, Teamwork, Integrity, Focused, and Enthusiastic - are embedded into the very fabric of the organisation.

Employee engagement and wellbeing are of paramount importance at Ellacotts. The firm's flexible working framework, Flex-e, promotes empowered decision making and ensures clear communication of expectations. This flexibility extends to the company’s social culture, with a series of firmwide social events fostering a sense of camaraderie and connection among the team.

Investing in employee growth, Ellacotts utilises the UK200Group Pathways Programme - a series of developmental workshops aimed at honing management, leadership, and business development skills. This long-term development initiative is complemented by one-on-one coaching sessions, providing bespoke learning plans for each individual.

The firm also prioritises mental health, with eight trained Mental Health First Aiders on board and online mental health awareness training for all people managers. The Employee Assistance Programme and weekly check-ins add another layer of support, ensuring every team member feels heard, valued, and supported. All these initiatives demonstrate Ellacotts' commitment to its people, reinforcing its purpose of 'Enabling Success' in every aspect of its operations.
