The Bristol office of accountancy firm Haines Watts has announced two promotions within its senior team.
Matthew Oldfield, who joined the company almost nine years ago after previously working for HMRC for more than a decade, becomes an Associate from his position as Senior Tax Manager.
Meanwhile Elizabeth Jenkins is promoted to Client Manager, following four years with Haines Watts. The company specialises in accounting services for SMEs from its offices in Bath Street.
Elizabeth has worked mainly in accounts and audits for a wide range of clients, specialising in work with charities as well as pensions and FCA assurance work.
The promotions come as Haines Watts Bristol looks to continue a period of rapid expansion. Last year it announced the appointment of Andrew Jordan as a director at the firm, after it grew staff numbers from 20 to 60 in the previous five years, with turnover trebling during the same period.
Mr Jordan said that the promotions of Matthew and Elizabeth reflected continued investment in the senior team as the company continues its growth plans.
“The promotions reflect our continued investment in the team and demonstrates the success of our decision to ‘grow our own’,” he said.
“Matt and Elizabeth have both done exceptionally well in their time with us and the promotions reflect the high level of commitment they have shown to clients and colleagues alike.
“They are both crucial to the business, now and as we move forward. The elevation of their roles enables us to continue to offer the high quality of service and technical expertise our clients demand whilst providing a platform to continue our growth plans in the future.”
