Langtons Chartered Accountants appoints new partner

Chartered accountants and business advisers Langtons has appointed Simon Whalley as new partner. 

Whalley has been with the Liverpool firm since 1995 and has risen through the ranks from qualifying as a chartered accountant to becoming manager, and most recently client services director. He now oversees some of the firm’s largest audit assignments and complex year end accounts and projections.

Managing partner Andy McCall said: “Simon has been a hugely important part of Langtons life for almost thirty years. His technical expertise is matched by his plain-speaking, pragmatic approach with clients. He has played an integral role in building and contributing to the success of Langtons and we know, as a partner, Simon will continue to drive our growth. He thoroughly deserves his promotion to partner.”

The firm is a member of Accelerate, a collaborative association of relationship-focused accounting firms, designed to support clients including international assignments, overseas expansion, group audit work, tax planning, and employment tax matters.

Whalley’s promotion to partner comes just six weeks after the appointment of Michael Court as tax director, who joined the firm from MHA Moore and Smalley. 

Regarding his appointment, Whalley said: “It’s an exciting time for Langtons as we continue to evolve as a firm and help more people navigate an ever-changing business environment. I’m delighted to be taking on the role of partner as we start this new chapter.”
