Top 20 accounting firm scaling audit and corporate tax across UK and US
TC Group is a mid-market accounting and business advisory firm (1,001–5,000 employees) headquartered in Steyning, West Sussex, operating since 1992. The hiring velocity is accelerating, with 61 of 77 active roles in finance and a senior-heavy mix (31 senior roles), suggesting aggressive expansion in tax and audit capacity. The tech stack is anchored in incumbent accounting platforms (SAP, Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, Caseware) with no active replacements signaled—a pattern typical of firms prioritizing service delivery over platform migration. Pain points cluster around audit technology adoption, workflow implementation, and acquisition integration, indicating growth through M&A and internal process standardization.
