PKF Smith Cooper corporate finance team has hired Callum Leslie as its new senior executive, as the firm aims to fuel the expansion of its advisory and transaction service offerings.
The firm is currently on the lookout for “high-calibre” individuals and “ambitious” professionals to join their Midlands offices in Nottingham, Derby and Birmingham with the aim of doubling its advisory team numbers.
Leslie worked in audit for five years at a top-10 UK accounting firm in the Midlands, starting his career as a school leaver in 2018.
He was promoted twice and became an assistant manager, developing extensive experience in working with privately owned businesses in a range of sectors across the region. He qualified as an accountant in 2022.
In his new role, Leslie will support PKF Corporate Finance in helping Midlands business owners to buy, sell and grow their businesses.
Leslie said: “I am delighted to have joined the team at PKF and look forward to the new challenges that lie ahead as I take this exciting side-step into corporate finance. I am really looking forward to working with our team to help our clients across the Midlands achieve their goals and business objectives.”
Darren Hodson, corporate finance partner at PKF Smith Cooper, added: “It is great to see our corporate finance division expanding, with the welcome addition of Callum to our team. His valuable experience in working with Midlands businesses will give him a solid foundation as he progresses in his career at PKF.
“As our pipeline grows, we have career opportunities at all levels of the company for ambitious individuals looking to progress in corporate finance or, like Callum, make their first move into the industry. We would love to hear from talented individuals looking to be backed to deliver growth.”
