Albert Goodman promotes Lizzie Walpole to audit partner

South West-based accountancy firm Albert Goodman has promoted Lizzie Walpole to audit partner.

Walpole steps up to the partnership from her previous role as audit director. She joined the firm in 2019 and specialises in delivering audit, accountancy and business advisory services to owner-managed businesses, scaling companies and academy trusts.

A chartered certified accountant, Walpole has more than a decade of experience across both practice and in-house finance teams. The firm said her appointment is part of an ongoing strategy to expand its audit department to help clients manage evolving regulatory requirements.

Albert Goodman operates offices across Taunton, Bristol, Yeovil, Weston-super-Mare and Weymouth, providing financial and advisory services to businesses in the region.

Iain McVicar, managing partner at Albert Goodman, said: “Lizzie’s appointment is very well deserved. She is a highly respected member of the audit team and has consistently demonstrated technical excellence alongside a strong commitment to client service. Her experience brings real value to our clients, and we’re delighted to see her take this next step.”

Walpole added: “I’m very proud to be made a partner at Albert Goodman. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of clients and colleagues since joining the firm, and I’m looking forward to continuing to support the audit team and our clients as they navigate an increasingly complex economic environment.”
