Albert Goodman unveils three new partners
The promotions follow a period of significant growth for the South West accountancy firm. The business reported an annual turnover of £21.4m last year – up 17% on the year before
South West-based accountancy firm Albert Goodman has announced the promotion of three of its directors, with Robin Clempson, Tom Stone and Kelly Pinder all being made partners at the Taunton-headquartered business.
Clempson – who has been promoted to partner of Marketing and Business Development after three years as Marketing director – joined Albert Goodman in 2015 and has been responsible for the marketing and communications of the accounting firm throughout a period of rapid growth, and recent expansion into Bristol.
His new role will see him lead on business development opportunities for the accountancy firm.
Tom Stone, part of Albert Goodman’s Farms and Estates team, has been made partner after 10 years at the firm, joining as a school leaver in 2014. In his new role, he will continue leading a portfolio of farming and landed estate clients, specialising in capital tax planning advice and agricultural finance advice.
In Albert Goodman’s Tax division, Kelly Pinder transitions from Tax director to Tax partner. A specialist in corporate tax matters including R&D relief and capital allowances, she will utilise her experience advising on a variety of subjects for both the firms’ owner-managed businesses and larger corporate clients.
On the new appointments, managing partner at Albert Goodman Iain McVicar said: “We’re thrilled to be able to offer Partner positions to Robin, Tom and Kelly. The three of them are at the top of their game in their respective fields and have each played a pivotal role in Albert Goodman’s success throughout their time with the business so far.
“I and the firm are particularly proud of how the three have developed their skills and progressed through business since they first joined Albert Goodman. To be recruiting homegrown talent to partner level is a testament to the training opportunities and culture we’ve built at the firm, and the hard work of Robin, Tom and Kelly. I look forward to seeing what they achieve next.”
The promotions follow a period of significant growth for the South West accountancy firm. The business reported an annual turnover of £21.4m last year – up 17% on the year before.
Clempson said: “I’m delighted to take on this new role within the business. Having been part of the team at Albert Goodman for over a decade, it’s been a privilege to see how we’ve grown and I feel very proud to have played a part in that. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with my excellent marketing team as we push forward with exciting opportunities over the coming years.”
