Finding a new role is not only about securing an offer. It is about making sure the firm is the right fit for you. Salary and title are important, but culture, growth and balance matter just as much. Here are eight signs that suggest you may have found the right employer.

1. They invest in training and development
A good employer supports your growth. Whether through CPA study support, technical training or soft skills workshops, they want you to progress.
2. Clear career pathways
The best firms are transparent about progression. They set clear expectations and give feedback to help you get there.
3. Positive culture
Pay attention to how employees interact during the interview process. A collaborative, respectful atmosphere is a strong indicator of culture.
4. Work life balance is taken seriously
Accountancy can be demanding, but firms that actively encourage balance stand out. Look for flexible working policies and realistic expectations outside of busy season.
5. Leadership is approachable
Good leaders are visible and accessible. If partners and managers make time for staff, it shows they value people at every level.
6. Recognition and reward
An employer who notices effort and celebrates success creates an environment where people feel motivated to give their best.
7. Stability and reputation
Firms with a strong reputation, good retention and steady growth offer security and pride in the workplace.
8. You feel comfortable
Trust your instincts. If you leave interviews feeling positive, listened to and respected, you may have found a firm where you will thrive.
