Shaw Gibbs has appointed accounts partner Brian Clifford to its Sutton office as the firm continues to strengthen its presence across Greater London.

Clifford has more than 20 years’ experience working with owner-managed businesses and has advised clients across sectors including publishing, manufacturing, property and not-for-profit organisations. 

He joins from a London practice, where he served as partner for four years.

Clifford added: “I was keen to join a firm with a strong local presence and deep involvement in the community, and Shaw Gibbs fit that perfectly. Beyond being a top 40 accountancy practice, the firm’s commitment to community engagement really drew me in. I look forward to working with the team in Sutton and helping clients navigate complex financial challenges and achieve their goals.”
