Oakam Limited Trading as “Oakam” or “Loal”

Mohammed Mujtaba works in our London office in the Corporate Tax team, and joined the firm in January 2019 when he was ACA qualified and has since completed his CTA with the firm.

Mohammed is a corporate tax generalist currently working with a range of different clients, sectors and firms of differing sizes. This brings experience of dealing with different types of issues and challenges, as what might be relevant to one client due to their size, will be less relevant to another which keeps the work interesting and keeps him learning new skills.

Kreston Reeves appealed to Mohammed as he was looking for the right sized firm to join – big enough to work on an interesting range of projects with great clients but small enough to fit in, without a hierarchy that leaves you getting smaller pieces of projects instead of leading on them.


What led to the decision to join Kreston Reeves, and what stood out about the firm during the interview process?

“I’ve worked with other accountancy firms and did a lot of research before joining Kreston Reeves – I knew I wanted to move into the right firm. When I was interviewed, I got a really nice vibe from the people I met, they were fast to follow up with me and they showed me I would be valued by the firm.”

What makes Kreston Reeves’ active careers approach attractive, and how does it differ from other firms?

“Their active careers approach is very attractive and I am regularly told what my career will look like with the firm, where it should be at different stages and what steps would be in place to help me get there. It is all set out beforehand unlike other firms who may only offer you things when you say you are leaving.”

“In honesty, it is the nicest place I’ve worked, and the social side is great. There are no office politics, and everyone is caring, which cascades down from the partners who are interested in everyone’s career development, and they are approachable, real people.”
