About DJH

Born not so long ago in 2021, DJH was founded on a fantastic opportunity - the merger of two of Stoke-on-Trent's leading firms. But since then, we've not looked back. We've gone from strength to strength, with more like-minded firms joining us on our mission to achieve great things.



With offices across the Midlands, North West and Yorkshire, we're an experienced, Top 40 accountancy and business advisory group, who share the same values and ambitions, and most importantly, a passion for people.



Our values run through everything that we do. We live them. We breathe them. By fostering a team-first culture based on honesty, passion, and ambition, we create long-lasting, trusted partnerships.



We're on the hunt for brilliant people - individuals who aren't just technically brilliant but also driven by a passion for finding innovative solutions and constantly pushing the boundaries to achieve great things together. Each of our team plays a vital role in shaping the culture of our business, helping us grow, evolve, and succeed together. As an equal opportunity employer, we embrace diversity and welcome candidates from all backgrounds to join us on this exciting journey.
