What it's like to work at Mark Holt & Co from the team
“Since joining Mark Holt & Co I have never looked back! My role of DOFI is progressing into helping the Tax Team and giving me more opportunities in which I can use all of my skills to the full. I have never worked for a company where ‘Team’ really does mean ‘Team’. It is really a fantastic company to work for. I believe ‘Choose a job you love and you never work a day in your life’, Mark Holt & Co ticks this one off.”
Christie Butson, Director of First Impression
“I can honestly say I’ve loved every moment of working here. I was warmly welcomed into the office community and felt at home immediately. Whilst learning the basics of my role and working towards my first exam it has helped massively having a team around me which are very supportive and work with a such positive mind set. I feel like this has helped me advance quicker within my role and made my time here vastly more enjoyable and my studies as stress free as possible. The office has a great social atmosphere which makes every day a pleasant experience.”
Lloyd Hancock, Accounts and Audit Assistant
“I like working at Mark Holt & Co for 2 main reasons. The people and the variety of work – in the tax world you often get stuck working in one specific area of tax, but at MH&Co you get the opportunity to work in all areas of tax. This is unusual but so important to not only support studying, but also to keep the job interesting!”
Becca Brown, Tax Consultant
“In the (nearly) 12 years I’ve worked at Mark Holt & Co, I’ve seen the firm grow from 25 employees to nearly 70. With that has come a lot of change but the culture and values of the firm have been consistent throughout.
There’s something for everyone.

You can progress at your chosen pace, with every day bringing new learning, opportunities and inevitable laughter.”
