Choosing where you build your career is one of the biggest decisions you will make. At SMH Group, we understand that people want more than a job. They want to feel valued, supported, and part of something that has purpose. That is why we have shaped a workplace that puts our people first, encourages growth, and celebrates the difference they make every day.
A firm that feels personal, not corporate
We are proud to be a regional professional services group that has kept its local feel. Our offices are rooted in the communities we serve which means our clients are often local businesses and families who value long term relationships. Our teams get to see the real impact of their work and they get to be part of the success stories unfolding around them.
This approach was recently recognised by The Business Desk, who referenced SMH Group when discussing what it takes to serve the modern client. The article highlighted our commitment to keeping our firms local, maintaining strong community connections, and delivering a service that is both personal and forward thinking.
People who join SMH Group often tell us the same thing. They appreciate working somewhere that feels genuine, supportive, and connected to real people. We are large enough to offer opportunity, progression, and specialist services across the full financial journey. Yet we remain small enough to know each other, collaborate easily, and make decisions with our clients in mind.
High engagement and a workplace that keeps improving
Our staff surveys consistently show strong levels of engagement and satisfaction across the group. This feedback helps us understand what is working well and where we can strengthen our culture even further.
Over the past year, we have continued to enhance our wellbeing support, employee benefits, and career development pathways. We want everyone to feel that their contribution matters and that they have a clear path to grow within the business.
Why our people enjoy working here
There is no one answer because every person brings something unique. But common themes come up time and time again.
A supportive team culture
Collaboration is central to who we are. Our people work together across offices and service lines which creates a workplace where help is always available and knowledge is shared openly.
Room to learn and progress
We invest in training and development for every stage of someone’s career. Whether they are just starting out or stepping into senior leadership, we make sure they have the guidance and the tools they need to move forward.
A chance to make a real difference
Because we support local clients, our work feels meaningful. Our teams help business owners plan ahead, help families protect their future, and help organisations make confident financial decisions. The impact is clear and immediate.
A balanced approach to work
We encourage a healthy work life balance. Our benefits and policies reflect this and our managers support flexible working where possible so people can balance their personal commitments with their professional growth.
A workplace that gives back to the community
Our commitment goes beyond our offices and client work. SMH Group is proud to support charities, community events, and local initiatives across the region. From fundraising challenges to volunteering efforts to sponsoring local grassroots sports teams, we get involved in projects that make a genuine difference.
We also provide every employee with a dedicated CSR day each year. This gives our teams the opportunity to support a cause that matters to them, strengthens our community impact, and reflects our value of doing the right thing.
A place where your progression is based on merit
We believe that career progression should be transparent, fair, and based on the contribution you make. At SMH Group, your development is not dependent on waiting for others to move roles or create space. Instead, we focus on your performance, your potential, and the impact you have within your team and with our clients.
If you show the ambition to grow and the commitment to deliver great work, there is nothing stopping you from progressing. We want our people to feel empowered to shape their own careers and to know that their hard work and dedication will be recognised.
A place to grow your career and shape your future
At SMH Group, we want to give our staff the confidence to grow and shape their future. When you join us, you become part of a group that believes in doing the right thing, supporting each other, and giving clients the care they deserve.
If you are looking for a workplace that values its people, listens to feedback, and offers real opportunities to grow, SMH Group is the place to build your future.
