Larking Gowen has announced the appointment of Joanna Burton as the new director of the firm’s North Norfolk team.
Burton, who brings a wealth of commercial and industrial experience, first joined Larking Gowen as a trainee in 1998 where she qualified as a chartered accountant before deciding to pursue the next stage of her career.
Over the years, she has worked in a number of sectors including manufacturing and engineering, and most recently as finance director for a wholesale, retail and ecommerce business.
Burton said: “My industry experience should be of value to our clients because I’ve seen it from the other side and know what good service looks like, and what it’s like to be a client. Sometimes you are up against it and having the right level of support from a trusted advisor, and in practical accountancy terms, is invaluable.
“I see building trusting relationships with clients as an important part of my role, getting to understand their needs and requirements.”
She added: “Larking Gowen is a respected and reputable business in the region, and I’m very pleased to be back with them.”
John Atkins, lead partner in the business team in North Norfolk, said: “We’re delighted to see Joanna re-joining the firm, bringing with her a great depth of experience in our core services and beyond.
“We’re committed to continuing to strengthen our offering across Norfolk, and Joanna is a very welcome addition to our team.”
Julie Grimmer, Larking Gowen managing partner, added: “I’m really pleased to welcome Joanna back to the firm. Client satisfaction is at the core of our values, and I am sure Joanna’s insight from her time in industry will enhance our service proposition to the business community.”
