EQ Chartered Accountants has announced the appointment of Craig Nicol as its new chief executive officer.

Along with the partners, he has been focused on the next phase of the company’s growth journey.
In his new role, Nicol will lead the organisation with a “continued” commitment to delivering first-class client services, and a renewed people and culture strategy.
