Martyn – Associate, Accounts and Audit
At Charlton Baker, we’re redefining what it means to work in professional services. We believe people do their best work when they feel trusted, supported, and genuinely excited to show up. That’s why we’ve built a culture around freedom and responsibility - where you can be yourself, take ownership, and grow in a way that’s true to you.
We’re on a mission to be the most uniquely brilliant professional services business to work for (ever).
This is more than just a job. It’s your chance to shape your career, help clients find financial freedom, and be part of a team that’s changing the face of accountancy - together.
“If you join us, you won’t just be doing a job – you’ll be part of a community that supports you, trusts you, and gives you the freedom to grow.”
– Scott Sartin, CEO
