BDO has announced the appointment of Angela Cross as its new regional managing partner for the North West.
Cross is tax partner at the firm and will take over the role from 1 July 2023 to oversee the 470-strong audit, tax and advisory team across the region.
She succeeds Ed Dwan, who will continue in his role as a North West tax partner ahead of his retirement in early 2024.
In 2020, she took over as head of tax in the North West and has led the team through a period of positive growth, both in terms of revenue and headcount.
She also leads the provision of tax services to the Not for Profit sector across the Midlands and the North.
Cross said: “I’m absolutely delighted to be taking over the reins from Ed who has built a formidable and multi-disciplined team over the last seven years that continues to go from strength-to-strength.
“I have always had a passion for supporting our people, particularly in my role on BDO’s People and Culture Board and I will continue to place a strong emphasis on developing and nurturing the talent that we have in the North West at every level. Our focus will remain on wellbeing, innovation, and delivering the highest possible standards to the many ambitious and entrepreneurially-minded businesses that we work alongside in the region.”
Dawn added: “We have a fantastic team in the region and Angela is the perfect appointment to continue to develop this further – I wish her every success in her new role.”
BDO operates in 18 offices across the UK, employing 7,500 people offering tax, audit and assurance, and a range of advisory services.
