Cowgills expands Liverpool office with senior hire

Accountancy and business advisory firm Cowgills has bolstered its team in Liverpool with the appointment of audit partner Helen Mills.

Mills, who was previously at Haines Watts and Grant Thornton, joins the Liverpool team as the practice continues to grow following the opening of the Chapel Street office last year. The Liverpool team provides a full service offering to businesses across the Liverpool City Region and has ambitious growth plans.

The firm said the rapidly growing team is currently looking at new premises in the city centre to support its plans for continued growth and to accommodate future employees joining from across Merseyside.

Managing partner, Paul Stringer, said: “Helen brings significant experience to Cowgills and her appointment is a further demonstration of our commitment to our clients in the area. We hope this will be the first in a series of appointments as we continue to invest in the region.”

Mills added: “It’s a really exciting time to join the business. I was very impressed with not only the opportunity to join a growing full-service team here in the city but also by the strong relationships Cowgills has with its clients and the team’s progressive approach to business.

“It’s an incredibly friendly firm, they do things in a personable way and are able to offer great benefits and career development opportunities. We are attracting new colleagues from many of the Big 4 firms, for this very reason. I’m really looking forward to working with the team and together driving the Cowgills offer in Liverpool.”
