More about RPG

We act for a wide variety of businesses across a range of sectors with turnovers ranging from small enterprises with turnovers of £50,000 to large companies exceeding £850 million. Each business is unique and faces different challenges, and we pride ourselves on providing them with commercially focused advice. Our range of expertise gives us confidence in our ability to deliver a great service to our clients. As a UK top 100 accountancy firm, we have ambitions and plans for continued growth.

Our clients operate across a wide variety of sectors, and some of the work we carry out is highly specialist. Notably, RPG is one of fewer than 30 accountancy firms in the UK regulated to carry out Public Interest Entity (PIE) audits. This accreditation enables us to audit FTSE and AIM-listed companies, as well as regulated entities such as Friendly Societies.  We also have clients with overseas interests, and we are supported in this through our membership of DFK International.    

Our client facing teams are supported by dedicated operations, people management, finance and marketing teams. Technology is a key area of development for us. We are currently going through an extensive and ambitious technological transformation programme. This will enable us to truly empower our people. 

Working at RPG

RPG Chartered Accountants provide a friendly and professional working environment where we love to do an excellent job and going above-and-beyond the call of duty is second nature to us. A good work-life balance, alongside supporting personal development, are at the centre of our ethos. 

The training and development of our entire team is fundamental to us. We fully support our team members who are following ACA and ACCA training programmes, and personal development plans are created for each team member as part of the annual appraisal process. These focus on the individual’s specific needs, career aspirations and goals; we always encourage and support progression within the firm. We also host informal training sessions: ‘Learning Lunches: Really Positive Growth’,” with internal and guest speakers covering topical issues and sector specific news and updates. These sessions, along with an individual’s personal development plan, help to encourage team members to become commercially focused business advisers. Technology is key to the firm’s development so full technical training and support are also provided. 

Having fun is also central to our ethos! We keep in touch across both offices through monthly social calls on Teams and we have social events throughout the year. Our main social event is the RPG Grand Day Out, in the most recent event, we had a day at the Etihad football stadium, which is home to Manchester City FC, where we enjoyed tours of the ground, lunch and the Ultimate Gameshow followed by karaoke and a fun casino!  See more here  A great time was had by all! In 2024 we had a Medieval Adventure Day at Ruthin Castle in North Wales which was brilliant fun! See more here.

We also have an annual Away Day which combines firmwide updates, training and team building.  This year our event took place at the Radisson Edwardian Hotel in Manchester where the afternoon team building session was entitled “Outside of the box” and it gave each team member the opportunity to participate in variety of fun tasks working individually or within groups. See more here “Best ever event!” 

This year we have also had lunch time activities, arranging for ice cream vans and pizza vans to attend both offices!  These events give us plenty of opportunity to mix and socialise between out teams. See more here. 

The RPG social committee organises regular events throughout the year including socials and frequent activities such as cake sales, pumpkin carving for Halloween, egg decorating at Easter and the annual RPG Grow Off challenge.  This year the challenge was to grow chilli plants!  More details and photographs on Instagram. 

We also encourage colleagues to explore activities that can be developed firmwide such as five a side football, netball and we are currently organising a team to take part in the Great Manchester Run in May 2026. 

Well-being is of the utmost importance to us. We have access to the MyStrength and WeCare app which provide a range of services, as part of our employment package, as well as internal counselling and support. 

We encourage colleagues to come into the office every day and most people have their own dedicated desk (the only occasional exception being the audit team who are often visiting clients). Home working is allowed but everyone is expected to be in the office a minimum of 3 days per week unless they are with clients. 

Our team is encouraged to ‘dress for their day’ which generally means casual clothing can be worn for office days, but more formal office attire is required when seeing clients in the office or visiting their premises. 

RPG is committed to fostering a positive work environment and a healthy work-life balance. We strive to support all our people with comprehensive training. We place great emphasis on training, development, and the long-term progression of our people. We also actively support diversity, equity, and inclusion across the firm and ensure all employees are treated with dignity and respect. Our wellbeing and social programme further reflect our people-first approach.
