A top accountancy and business advisory firm will create 150 jobs in Liverpool after it announced a new office opening at a city centre location.
BDO LLP has announced further expansion, taking a second Liverpool office at One Tithebarn Street.
The news comes less than 18 months after the firm trebled space at Temple Street, with the Tithebarn Street move set to happen in October.
The additional 8,000 sq ft takes the total space occupied by the firm to 25,000 sq ft.
BDO employs more than 250 people in Liverpool, and said the new office will allow for around 150 additional roles.
The firm said it has developed strong links with universities in the city and wider region to support recruitment as the business grows.
Ed Dwan, partner at BDO in the North West said: “The growth of the team in Liverpool is reflective of the successful year we’ve had as a firm.
"We announced a merger with Moore Stephens creating a larger and stronger business and we’ve seen strong organic growth in the region. We’re committed to Liverpool because of the quality of talent and businesses based here.”
Nigel Britton, director at BDO added: “This year alone, we’ve created more than 100 jobs and strengthened our links in the Liverpool region. Now we’ve set our sights on more ambitious targets and will continue to recruit the right team to help deliver this.”
