Champion offers a comprehensive programme of assistance, built around the four key needs of a modern business:
Champion is a leading North West accountancy group, providing the services that help businesses to grow, and create wealth for the owners.
Established in 1971, our focus is on creating a partnership with clients, rooted in mutual trust. Our accountancy service provides the foundations and from this we create an integrated programme of assistance, using a range of in-house Champion resources. Everything we do is founded on our commitment to the highest ethical and professional standards.
We offer high calibre support in fields such as Tax Planning, Corporate Finance, Insurance and IT – many of which are non-traditional areas for an accountancy firm, but which can be high on the agenda for business owners.
Over the past 45 years, Champion has grown rapidly from its original base in Manchester, to additional offices in Chester, Preston and Blackpool – each of them acting as trusted advisor for some of the North West’s brightest businesses.
Great businesses attract great people and I’m proud to say that Champion has a great team. But what makes Champion and its team great? What are Champion’s values and are the team happy to share and embrace them?
In February 2007 I started meeting regularly with team members across Champion to explore what makes Champion a truly great business and what values the team display and believe in.
Working at Champion means being part of a great team, in a progressive company with competitive study packages and excellent career progression opportunities available.
We are looking to recruit an experienced, ambitious and hard-working individual into our Manchester practice.
Champion’s wide range of clients means that our team benefits from working with an interesting mix of industries and types of business. This role will be a pivotal role in the firm and we are looking to recruit someone who has the ambition and potential to progress.
This is an opportunity for an experienced Audit / Accounts Senior to join a thriving firm that offers scope of long term career progression for the right individual. We value candidates that are professionally qualified and also qualified by experience.
We are a leading accountancy group who specialise in the SME sector and provide a range of services throughout the North West which enables businesses to grow and create wealth for their owners.
