Wylie and Bisset, accountants and business advisers, has announced a raft of promotions encompassing the firm’s audit, business advisory services, insolvency, payroll, and tax departments.

Having helped grow the fee income and client base of its external audit team significantly over recent years, Sandy Hogg and Rory McCall have been promoted to associate director as part of the firm’s strategy to strengthen its management team to enhance the servicing of its growing client base.

Meanwhile, the firm’s insolvency department has announced a quartet of promotions with Paul McDougall becoming associate partner, Craig Allison, associate director, Cameron Andrew, senior administrator, and Stacey Kelly, administrator.

The firm said McDougall has a wealth of experience of personal insolvency and is “well equipped” to advise individuals on the best options available to suit their circumstances while Allison offers advice to directors and businesses experiencing cash flow issues and pressure from creditors and works closely with shareholders and directors of profitable, solvent companies seeking to utilise the tax efficient process of a members voluntary liquidation.
