What keeps us awake at night?

Behind every pension we administer is a real person and a real retirement. Over 20,000 of them, to be exact. That's not a statistic we throw around lightly. It's what shapes every decision we make about how we run this business.

We've grown organically and deliberately, at a pace that keeps quality front and centre. We're not chasing volume. We're building something that lasts. And that means getting the detail right, every single time, for every adviser who trusts us and every member who depends on us.

Our market is complex, regulated and high-stakes. We administer commercial property portfolios, pension schemes and investment accounts that affect real businesses and real futures. The work is genuinely interesting. And it genuinely matters.

We don’t preach. We practise.

Precision is the job
We process hundreds of transactions every day, across investments, benefit calculations, property acquisitions and valuations. In this business, accuracy isn't a differentiator. It's the standard. Our teams are trained to get it right the first time, because the people relying on us need us to.

Personal at any size
Twenty thousand members. Nine billion pounds. And still, when an adviser calls, they speak to someone who knows their clients. Our entire team is named on our website with direct contact details, because that's how we want to do business. That's not a policy. That's who we are.

Specialists, not generalists
SIPP and SSAS administration is a niche world. We've been operating in it since 1992, and we've built teams of people who genuinely know their stuff, in property law, pension legislation, compliance, accounts and more. Deep expertise, properly applied.

Growth done right
Every hire we make is a long-term investment. We grow carefully, train thoroughly, and promote from within. The result is a business that wins awards not because of its marketing, but because of its people.

Build your muscles. Then flex them.

You don't need a financial services CV to get started here. InvestAcc provides full training across every role, from SIPP administration to property acquisitions to accounts, so what we're really looking for is sharp attention to detail and a drive to do things properly. For accounts roles, we'll support you through the AAT qualification via a Carlisle College apprenticeship.

Progression is visible and real. The path from Administrator to Senior Administrator to Assistant Team Leader to Team Leader is one that many of our people have walked. With a growing business, an LSE-listed parent group and expansion across the UK, the opportunity to take on more and go further is there for the people who want it.

What’s in it for you?

InvestAcc has strong ties to the community it operates in. The team raises money for local charities including Eden Valley Hospice, Cumbria Community Foundation and Cash for Kids, supports Carlisle United, and gives staff time to volunteer.

Most recently, a team from the Carlisle office donated a full working day to Oaktree Animals' Charity. It is the kind of business that shows up, not just at work, but in the places it calls home.

  • Full training provided, no prior financial services experience required
  • AAT qualification support via Carlisle College apprenticeship (accounts roles)
  • Clear progression path from Administrator through to Team Leader and beyond
  • Stable, growing business with an LSE-listed parent group
  • Offices in Carlisle, Tees Valley and Manchester
