Accountancy in Kent
Kent is a fantastic location for those searching for accountancy roles
Kent is one of the home counties and is located in the South East of England.
Kent is quintessentially English, with charming villages, a plethora of traditional pubs, rolling countryside, and has been nicknamed ‘the Garden of England’ due to a large proportion of the county forming parts of two Areas of Outstanding beauty; the North Downs and The Weald. Kent has plenty to enjoy, from excellent theatre and contemporary galleries to a critically-acclaimed pleasure park. Kent is also bustling with fantastic eateries and an abundance of lively music venues. The county is also an ideal location for families as it boasts some of the best schools in England.
Central Kent is only 40 miles from London, making it a popular commuter location. Kent has a diverse economy spanning logistics, tourism, finance, defence, and much more.
The county has excellent transport links, with major motorways, good rail links with direct routes to London, and the Port of Dover allowing ferry access to France.
Kent offers plenty of opportunities for those seeking a new job in accountancy.
