The Bristol office of national accountancy firm Haines Watts has made two promotions within its senior team.
Matthew Oldfield, who joined the firm 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. She 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 its rapid expansion. Last year it appointed Andrew Jordan as a director after growing staff numbers from 20 to 60 over the previous five years, with turnover trebling during the same period.
Andrew said that Matthew and Elizabeth’s promotions reflected continued investment in the senior team as the office maintains its expansion.
“It 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.”
Haines Watts’s Bristol office is one of 60-plus operated by the Top 15 firm across the UK. The firm supports more than 35,000 companies and business owners in industries spanning manufacturing, property, architecture, creative, food and drink and the third sector.
