Pros

Great team culture with approachable and supportive tax partners who are always willing to help and share their knowledge, creating a collaborative and positive working environment.

Cons

The firm is evolving rapidly, with many positive changes; however, the implementation of these changes is not always well planned or timed. More communication is needed.

Pros

1.Exposure to varied client base, which helps in building knowledge and experience in complex private client tax areas 2. Good level of autonomy in managing work and clients 3. Strong team culture 4. Opportunity to develop commercially and technically 5. BKL has a genuinely collaborative culture where people are trusted to take ownership. Communications between teams are generally very strong. Opportunities to step up into client-facing roles and build management experience is the reason why I joined BKL in the first place. There is always support for progression for anyone who aspires to progress in their career. 6. BKL offers a competitive benefits package with flexibility and focus on work-life balance outside busy periods.

Cons

1. Workload can fluctuate significantly during peak periods 2. Some internal processes could be more streamlined

Pros

Working at BKL is genuinely really enjoyable and I look forward to coming to work. I've been given clear objectives and expectations of what my role involves and regular meetings with my manager to discuss performance and feedback, and what my future progression will look like and what I need to do to achieve it. BKL is also really flexible - much more flexible than anywhere else I've worked, in terms of working from home and what hours you do, I feel like BKL does genuinely care about it's people and invests in their success. It feels like a people-centred organisation and the values are reflected in the everyday ways of working. Lastly, everyone is friendly and fun to work with! It's not a super uptight, boring, corporate environment and there is room to have fun at work which I really appreciate.

Cons

I can't really think of any but sometimes the flexibility that BKL gives people means it's difficult for everyone in the team to get together as people might be working out of different offices or from home and it's more rare for everyone to be in the same office at the same time. However there's usually one day a week when everyone plans to be together as an 'anchor day'.
