Ethos and culture
We love that everyone at EFI has their own unique talents, and the uniqueness of our people is the key to our successful client relationships. Whilst our differences are a huge strength we all share the same ethos and culture of creativity, curiosity and collaboration.
Creativity
Every day at EFI we have to use our innovation and imagination. Sharing a creative thought process is essential to working at EFI. Creativity helps us to provide solutions to our clients and enables them to achieve their success through our imagination and commitment.
Collaboration
Every one of us at EFI has an equally important part to play in making our business and our clients’ projects a success. We know that everyone has unique ideas and encourage them to be shared so we can design and deliver integrated solutions that our clients rely on.
Curiosity
We’re always asking why. We keep our sharp minds and questioning natures engaged with our clients from start to finish to develop thorough solutions that don’t miss any details. A questioning mind and solid eye for detail are a key source of value for you here.
Where We Work
We want our employees to see work as an activity, and not a place, and feel empowered to choose the working space that best suits the type of work being undertaken, or the expectations of our clients. When you work with us, you can choose to combine home and office-based working or choose to be completely remote working, with greater flexibility in your working patterns and locations. Whilst majority of our workforce are remote working, we know that some of us prefer the in-office experience, so we do have a Leeds office open for colleagues to make use of if they wish. In the future, we’re looking to open up a Lithuanian office for our Lithuanian colleagues.
How we work
We know it’s important for everyone to have flexibility in how, where and when they work, to support their overall wellbeing. While staying within the confinements of our clients’ expectations, we are proud to say that we offer flexible working options for all of our people. For some of us, this means starting our day at 7, so that we can finish in time for the school run. For others, it’s taking a two hour lunch to hit the gym midday and working an extra hour to make it up. We have a range of formal and informal policies to support you in making the work/life juggle easier.
Team Benefits
We value our people and want them to love the job they do. Our teams are fun, the work we do is interesting, and we also have some equally exciting benefits as standard.
Mental health first aiders, employee assistance programme and access to wellbeing learning
Access to professional development and industry recognised qualifications

Wellbeing at EFI
As a growing organisation, we recognise the importance of everyone’s wellbeing. We take responsibility for creating an environment that promotes open conversations about mental, physical and emotional health, whilst working on support structures for those who might need additional support. Aside from an Employee Assistance Programme and private healthcare options, we also have Wellbeing Advocates to support our teams.
​
Our Wellbeing Advocates act as independent advocates for overall wellbeing in EFI. Making the link between wellbeing in the workplace and overall happiness clearer, they enable people to open up about their wellbeing and have those tough conversations, while encouraging everyone to learn more about health and wellbeing topics through a constant stream of wellbeing learning.
Diversity at EFI
We understand that our people are our greatest asset, and we recognise and respect that each person is unique. We know that diversity makes our organisation stronger, so our commitment to diversity is simple – we want to create and maintain a workplace where our people can achieve their best, regardless of individual differences: gender, physical attributes, family status, sexual orientation, age, race, origin, ethnicity, religious beliefs or ideology.
​
Our Diversity and Inclusion Advocates help us achieve that at every level. A group of individuals from different parts of the business, the D&I Advocates keep the conversation around diversity and inclusion matters alive.
Professional development
We are passionate about learning and everyone here takes their own and their colleagues’ professional development really seriously. We have a fully supported CPD (continuous professional development) scheme, provide our own internal learning programmes, fund professional qualifications and make time for all of our employees to learn and grow. Alongside this we have clearly defined career pathways for our analysts, so they can see where their career is headed, and what they need to do to get there.
EFI Academy
We’re passionate about providing opportunities for talented individuals to get a head start building a fantastic career in our industry. Our Academy Programmes (both in the UK and in Lithuania) are designed to deliver a stretching, guided and enjoyable journey for those who have never worked in financial crime to build their skills for a successful future in an exciting, fast growing area of financial services.
​
Entrants to the programme will either be recent graduates, or already have some related and transferrable work experience, and can demonstrate the values that we hold close to us.
