We value our people and are committed to them. We believe in investing in our young and dynamic team, who are ambitious not just for themselves, but also for their clients.

Maxim has rewarding opportunities for people who care about providing value and service to their clients. Our teamwork approach provides us with high level results and a cohesive workplace. We are solutions driven and apply strategic business analysis to our clients’ requirements.

Our team focuses on the delivery of quality, personalised and proactive service to the private sector. We seek applicants who can quickly develop analytical and consulting skills, and who can grow to manage medium and large client groups reporting directly to the partners.

The firm is organised into service teams that are headed up by one of five partners. Service teams are responsible for their own portfolio of clients and are supervised by a managing accountant, usually a partner.

Maxim employs the mentor system where new graduates share offices with senior accountants. This has proven beneficial for the development of a graduate’s career, professional development and social orientation into the firm.

We seek high quality people and we reward their dedication through attractive salaries and by sharing profits through a bonus pool. We offer training and career advancement in many areas and excellent opportunities for undergraduates, graduates and experienced accountants who want to excel in the private sector.

Being a firm of young professionals, staff enjoy the retreats, gatherings and other events held through the year.

What the Staff Say

My experience at Maxim with different clients and the variety in the work undertaken along with the support offered to complete the PY and other post graduate courses has greatly supported my career development. The team possess a wide range of skills and knowledge to support and train other staff members on all issues that may arise in our clients’ business.
Simone Alabaster

I am an undergraduate student and find Maxim to be an extremely flexible and understanding workplace. The ability to work while still studying is made achievable through the resources and support of the firm. The opportunity to experience all facets of business services and taxation accounting is an added bonus.
Andrew Potts

The staff and partners were very supportive leading up to my maternity leave, and they have implemented a generous maternity leave policy. My return to work has been easier than I had hoped, assisted greatly by the flexibility of the firm.
