Wales’ largest independent accountancy firm, Bevan Buckland LLP, continues to focus upon ambitious and steady growth, with six promotions among its ranks in recent weeks.

The firm, headquartered in Swansea, has seen Alan Eckley, Alex Powell, Angharad Rogers, Jessica Lewis, Sara Hussey and Sonia Kaur being promoted to Associate Executives while Kimberley Bone and Jessica Hann are now Senior Associates, Andrew Davies and Callum Mylan are Associates within Technical Services. Also, Natalie Owen and Georgia King are now Senior Associates in Payroll Bureau Services.

These successes come in a month that sees Bevan Buckland LLP receive hundreds of applications from young people across Wales keen to join the firm’s Training Academy for graduates and school leavers, which has set scores of young people on a successful career path over the past three years.

Matthew Denney, Tax Partner at Bevan Buckland LLP says: “We are delighted to see our very dedicated staff continue to reach for and to achieve success within their field. The past year has, of course, been a testing one for everyone in the workplace across all sectors and industries, and we are very proud of the way our colleagues have stepped up to continue to provide the kind of professional service our clients expect, despite the pandemic, but also to develop and grow their expertise.

“Bevan Buckland LLP continues to focus very sharply upon steady, managed growth, despite the prevailing circumstances that the wider economy in Wales finds itself in.

We continue to grow our team, making 15 new hires over the last 12 months and interviews are due to take place for the 2021 graduate and school leaver hires, so we will continue to grow into the new financial year. We feel very strongly that home-grown firms like ours are one of the keys to ensuring the economy here in Wales bounces back from the deeply-felt effects of the pandemic, and that it goes on to thrive. We will always work hard to play our part in this.”

The company has offices throughout South West Wales, and it is the largest independent accountancy firm in Wales providing accountancy services, tax compliance and advisory services and other strategic advice for small to medium-sized businesses. Headquartered in Swansea, the firm has offices in Carmarthen, Pembroke, Haverfordwest and St David’s.
