Broomfield & Alexander, Wales’s leading independent accountancy firm, has strengthened its Swansea-based team with the key appointment of a new director.

Paul Bowden, 36, originally from Morriston in Swansea, joins with more than 16 years’ experience in the financial sector. His previous work includes the delivery of audit and business services to a wide range of companies.

Degree-educated in Economics and Geography at Swansea University, Mr Bowden is also a fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales and joins Broomfield & Alexander from PwC, where he was a senior manager in its private business team.

In his new role at Broomfield & Alexander, Mr Bowden will provide tailored support and financial advice to entrepreneurs and private businesses in both the Swansea Bay area and further afield, working closely with the current directors based at the Swansea office, Sarah Curzon, Matthew Thomas and James Dobson.

Ian Thomas, managing director of Broomfield & Alexander, said: “Our strategy has been to assemble a team of talented individuals that are able to meet the diverse range of challenges facing businesses in Wales today.  Paul’s appointment as director adds a further distinct dimension to the services we are able to offer to our clients locally in the Swansea Bay area, but also across the whole of the company. I am very much looking forward to working with Paul on future projects.”

Paul Bowden said: “I am delighted to be joining Broomfield & Alexander at an exciting time in the business’s development and look forward to working with the wider team. My vast experience of the sector and specialist knowledge of the private business arena will enable me to add value to Broomfield & Alexander, while growing the range of services that we are able to offer our clients.”
