Hurst has announced that it has promoted two members of its business services team who joined the practice as graduate trainees.
The company has revealed that Tom Hooper and Jack Pritchard have become associate managers in the team.
Hooper joined Hurst in September 2018 after graduating from the University of Nottingham with a degree in history and American studies.
His role includes completing consolidated accounts and reporting on audit findings to
the boards of companies, as well as leading on-site teams.
He is also a member of Hurst’s audit, innovation and methodology team, which is
exploring how the firm can best leverage AI and other modern tools.
Pritchard graduated from the University of Leeds with a degree in accountancy and
finance, and joined Hurst in September 2019.
He is involved in audits, statutory accounts preparation work and corporation tax compliance on behalf of clients in sectors including insurance, construction and sport.
Hooper said: “It’s great to be promoted and for my hard work to be recognised. I’m looking forward to being further involved as we grow and continue to modernise as a business, and working to set an example for our audit teams, just as I was motivated by the great people ahead of me.
“As an introduction to the world of business, working in audit is a great option. It gives you the opportunity to get out there and see all kinds of businesses and meet all kinds of people. It’s challenging work, but rewarding.”
Pritchard added: “Working at Hurst is extremely rewarding. We have a vast range of clients across various industries, meaning every job is differing. The supportive team, interesting and challenging work and emphasis on continuous development and innovation mean Hurst is a really fulfilling place to work.
“I’m excited by my promotion. It reflects my hard work over the past five years and the firm’s recognition of my contribution. It also means I can play a bigger part in contributing to the future success of our clients.”
