In addition, Naik has experience working at a top firm in the Middle East, having completed his studies in India. 

The new hires will be assisting clients from the firm’s main office in Carlisle’s Rosehill Industrial Estate. 

Sophie Graham, training partner at Saints and Co, said: “Welcoming Tom, Yasir and Viraj to the team is a major development for Saint and Co, and they will pass on the vast experience they have gained on to the less experienced, younger students here.

“Appointing three people with such extensive senior experience will benefit the firm significantly, and their appointments will strengthen our audit department for many years to come.”

All three new recruits are based at Saint and Co’s main office in Carlisle’s Rosehill Industrial Estate.
