Duncan and Toplis has appointed Daniel Sharpe as its new business services director, following nearly 20 years with the firm.
Sharpe joined the group directly from school in 2008. He has since completed his Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) exams, qualified with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), and gained Associate Chartered Accountant (ACA) status.
After a decade in practice, he is now recognised as a fellow chartered accountant.
Sharpe specialises in the agricultural sector and has a background supporting farming businesses and families. He has experience across accounting and audit.
Outside work, he volunteers as a business adviser for young people with the King’s Trust.
His promotion is one of 11 across the firm.
In audit and assurance, Jordan Knapp has become an audit lead, Jane England an assistant manager, and James Lalyk has been promoted to associate assurance director.
In the tax team, Kate Middleton steps up to corporate tax adviser and Nicola Howson takes on a new role as private tax adviser.
Adam Reeson and Catherine Boyd join Sharpe in the business services team as assistant managers, while Tom Bogg has been promoted to associate business services director.
In marketing and business development, William Coupland marks five years with the group and has been promoted to media production assistant manager.
Alison Smith, head of business services at Duncan and Toplis, said: “We are delighted to reflect on what has been another year of success for Duncan and Toplis, and our promotions showcase the great work that has gone into our growth strategy.
“Daniel fully deserved this new role, demonstrating not just passion for his work and performance, but a commitment to upholding and representing the core values that make Duncan and Toplis the team clients want to work with and where talented people belong. I look forward to seeing him flourish in his new role.”
