The Nottingham office of a national accountancy firm has appointed a new managing partner.
Andrew Timms, who joined UHY Hacker Young’s Nottingham office more than a year ago – has taken up the role.
He will oversee a team of 75 people, based in Park Row, who offer a range of business advisory services, including audit, cloud accounting, personal and corporate tax planning, payroll and transaction support.
He said: “I’m really excited to be given the opportunity to help drive UHY’s Nottingham office forward and, working with my fellow partners, cement our position as one of the city’s leading accountancy practices.
“We have ambitious growth plans for the firm in Nottingham and the wider East Midlands region and the business is very well positioned to take advantage of the market.
“We’ve got the best team of people UHY has ever had. They have a huge amount of know-how and there are some extremely talented people coming through the ranks, who I hope will form the partnership of the future.”
Andrew started his career at Page Kirk, where he spent four years as an audit trainee, before moving to Deloitte as a senior manager.
A seven-year stint was followed by 11 years as a partner at business advisory firm Cooper Parry, culminating in his move to UHY in February 2019 as partner, focusing on owner-managed businesses.
