Azets Aberdeen, a leading provider of accounting, audit, tax and strategic advisory services, has responded to local demand by recruiting Anna Cameron into its technical accounting team as a senior manager.
The highly successful Azets Aberdeen office has experienced significant growth over recent years driven by an influx of new clients, predominantly within the energy sector, and by expanding its service offerings for current clients, which has included the fast growing technical accounting service.
The new hire will focus on complex accounting issues such as acquisition accounting, consolidations including preparation of complex financial statements, technical accounting papers required for auditors and international financial reporting standards (IFRS) conversions including workshops and impact assessments.
Demand for Azets’ technical accounting has seen a considerable increase due to a shortage of skilled finance professionals within Aberdeen. The demand on finance teams is greater than ever and often there can be projects where expert support is needed. With a team of over 80 staff locally, Azets can resolve clients’ staffing needs promptly.
Anna brings over 10 years’ experience of working within professional services. She has worked with variety of businesses from owner managed through to large international corporate groups. As well as working in practice Anna has experience in working within the oil and gas sector.
She said: “I am delighted to be joining the Azets team and look forward to working with my new colleagues. I also look forward to working with and supporting the clients of Azets on variety of accounting issues with the main focus in the coming months being implementation of changes to FRS 102.”
David Booth, regional managing partner for Azets Aberdeen, said: “We are delighted to welcome Anna to Azets and believe our clients will further benefit from being able to access another quality advisor within our technical accounting team.”
“With significant changes upcoming in Financial Reporting Standards (FRS) 102, particularly in relation to leases and revenue, it will impact many clients. This will be a key project for Anna to lead and navigate so we can best support our clients through these changes by providing impact assessments, accounting papers and assisting with the necessary disclosures required for the financial statements.
“It is important for Azets to continue delivering innovative solutions to navigate regulatory changes, whilst mitigating risk for our clients.”
