Carpenter Box has announced the appointments of Kristina Perry and Nick Tebb to partner, having both joined the firm directly from university as trainees.
A University of Brighton accountancy graduate, Perry started her traineeship in 2012, achieved her ACCA qualification and worked her way up to the position of client service director for the assurance and advisory team in 2023.
She currently oversees and signs off audit reports, as well as leads an internal team that provides technical knowledge across the firm’s accounting and audit functions.
Perry said: “As someone who has always lived in the Worthing area, I was aware of the Carpenter Box name from my college days, so to become a partner here is really exciting.”
Meanwhile, Tebb arrived at Carpenter Box in 2014 as an accountancy graduate from De Montford University in Leicester.
From trainee, he progressed through various roles to client service director at StarBox, the firm’s service for new media entrepreneurs and social influencers.
Tebb said: “The firm’s growth over the last decade has been phenomenal, and for me it’s been incredibly exciting to be involved in shaping the success of StarBox. It speaks volumes about the Carpenter Box culture that young professionals joining the firm at an entry level can see a career path that can lead to a partner.”
Alan Edwards, managing partner at Carpenter Box, added: “Kristina and Nick embody the progressive ethos of Carpenter Box to provide an environment within which people feel empowered to reach their full potential. Nurturing talent and rewarding success is in our DNA and I look forward to seeing both Kristina and Nick thrive in their new roles.”
