About Accurise
What is Accurise?
Accurise is an outsourced cloud-accounting practice based in Bristol, UK. Founded by Rob Howard and Jonna Seavey in January 2020, the firm has grown to a team of around 35–50 people serving more than 200 client locations as the largest UK partner of cloud accounting platform Xledger.
Accurise's pitch is that traditional accountancy is broken — they remove the stress of financial management so ambitious clients can focus on growth. The careers page summarises the company's philosophy bluntly: "We founded Accurise on the core belief that happy teams produce the best quality work." Over the past three years, partners have averaged 38% year-on-year growth while Accurise itself reports near-100% retention on both client and employee sides.
Where will I work?
Accurise is remote-first — all employees work from home, with core hours of 10am-3pm UK time across the four working days. There's a beautiful office in central Bristol (37 Corn Street) for anyone who prefers hybrid or office-based working. JDs are typically listed with a Bristol location, and the team operates entirely within the UK.
What is the Accurise team like?
The team is around 35–50 people, mostly ACCA/CIMA-qualified accountants and finance specialists plus a small operations and marketing crew. The internal staff survey (published on the about page) reports 87% overall staff satisfaction, 92% feel loyal to Accurise and the broader VIEW Group, 95% are proud to work at Accurise, and 95% rate equality and diversity satisfaction. Co-founder Jonna Seavey is Operations Director; Rob Howard is CEO. The "happy teams, happy numbers" framing is the company's central operating belief, and the team is described as "rockstar accountants" who care about long-term client relationships.
Work-Life Balance
Accurise has tested and adopted a 4-day work week — 32 hours, paid as full-time (Monday–Thursday by default, with core hours 10am–3pm UK time). All staff get an unlimited holiday allowance — and the about page is unambiguous: "And we really mean it — we are firm believers in work-life balance here." Combined with the remote-first setup and the optional Bristol office, schedule control sits firmly with the employee.
