A Nottingham accountancy firm has strengthened its team with the appointment of five new staff to its Audit and Assurance department, with an aim to bring a diverse range of experience and knowledge to the team.

Two graduates will be joining UHY Hacker Young’s Audit and Assurance department: Kate Brooks, who studied biology at Durham University and David Major, who studied politics at the University of Leicester prior to securing their roles at UHY.

Victoria Fell, an audit senior, will be also be joining the growing department, bringing with her eight years of experience. Before joining UHY, Victoria previously worked for Clayton & Brewill, McGregors & Smith Cooper.

Victoria said: “I am very pleased to be joining UHY, as it is a leading practise in the region and offers a diverse range of services. In my previous roles, I have been able to gain invaluable experience, and I feel I will be able to complement UHY’s ethos and high-quality service in my new role.”

Ehsan Mir, a part qualified ACCA will be joining the team from Birmingham, where he has previously held positions with Grant Thornton and KPMG.

UHY has also hired a recent school leaver, Jessica Selby, who will be taking up an AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians) apprenticeship with the firm. Jessica has left school following the competition of her A Levels at Toot Hill School in Nottingham.

Jessica said: “I’m excited to start my AAT apprenticeship at UHY, I could not imagine a better opportunity or start to my career in accountancy. As I have always lived in Nottingham, I recognise UHY as a respected firm, and I am excited to be part of it.”

These five new appointments come as part of growing demand for the firm’s services in the region – as it has continued to grow and diversify its client portfolio.

Managing partner, Phil Oliver said: “We are very pleased to welcome all five of our new employees to the team, we are certain they will be able to build strong careers within the firm.

“UHY Hacker Young takes pride in supporting talent at all levels, so we are very excited to have the expertise of Victoria and Ehsan join the team, along with the developing talents of Kate, David and Jessica.”
