At A4G, we don’t just hire people, we help you build careers you’re proud of.
Many of our team started here straight from school. Today, they’re leading teams, heading departments, and even running the firm.
Emma White – joined in 1999 from school, now Co-Managing Partner
Josh Curties – joined straight from university, now Co-Managing Partner
Fun fact: every partner at A4G (bar one) started here straight from school. That’s how much we believe in growing talent from the ground up.
At A4G, it’s simple: work hard, learn lots, and your career can go anywhere.
From trainee to partner or head of department, we invest in your growth. Everyone gets a Training & Development Manager and a plan tailored to help you succeed. Real responsibility, real support, real opportunity.
Learn while you eat! Our lunch & learns give you the chance to pick up new management and business skills while enjoying a free lunch on us. Plus, there are additional study sessions, webinars, and access to books and courses to keep you moving forward.
Work hard, but have fun too! From team lunches, days out, pub trips, weekends away, to the annual Christmas quiz and party with an early finish, we make sure bonding and celebrating success is part of the job.
Each year, our annual growth conference give the team a chance to pause, reflect, and reset. They’re an opportunity to celebrate achievements, align our goals, and ensure our culture continues to evolve for everyone’s success.
We love marking the personal milestones that matter. Big birthdays, weddings, new arrivals and work milestones. Outstanding contributions don’t go unnoticed either: we recognise hard work through employee of the month, service recognition gifts, and our end-of-year awards.
We like to recognise your hard work. Every six months, profits are shared across the team because everyone who contributes deserves to benefit.
We also enjoy seasonal treats and little surprises throughout the year, from Easter eggs to Christmas quiz gifts, to make the workplace a little brighter.
We love supporting each other and the wider community. Many team members take part in charity events we support, including ongoing initiatives like our homeless charity work.
We’re proud to be one of the top employers of school leavers in the UK.
