Bishop Fleming – one of the UK’s leading accounting and advisory firms has announced the promotion of two directors to Partner, as it continues its growth strategy.

The firm which delivers audit, accounting, tax and advisory services to businesses and individuals is promoting Dan White and Rob Pearce to the partnership, recognising their outstanding contribution.

Despite the challenges presented by the Coronavirus, the promotions will bring the firm’s partner group to 34, and together with a record number of trainees recruited in 2020, signal the firm’s ambition and confidence to grow further.

Based in the firm’s Worcester office, Rob joined in 2014 and has progressed through the managerial ranks and now plays a keen part in delivering exceptional client service within the West Midlands. He is a business tax expert working with a wide range of clients across many sectors as well as a leading expert in R&D tax credits, realising savings of over £10 million for his clients across the country.

Rob said: “I’m delighted to be joining the partner team to continue to strive to exceed client expectations. I joined Bishop Fleming 6 years ago and have been blown away by the support and sponsorship I’ve received from the firm to date”. 

Dan, who joined the firm’s Plymouth office back in 2003 as a trainee, left to pursue his career in London after his training, and returned to Bishop Fleming in 2014. He has experience of working with businesses in a variety of sectors and sizes, and he enjoys working closely with clients to help businesses owners achieve their goals.

Dan commented: “I’m incredibly proud to joining the partnership at Bishop Fleming. My first day at Bishop Fleming was in 2004 as an 18-year-old fresh out of Sixth Form and the firm has grown and changed substantially in the 17 years since then. I’m excited to work alongside the existing partners in leading the incredible team we have here, continuing to provide a great service to our clients.”

Bishop Fleming’s Managing Partner, Andrew Sandiford, in welcoming Rob and Dan to the partnership, said: It gives me great pleasure to announce Dan and Rob’s promotions as they have both demonstrated a great depth of technical expertise and experience within our business. Their advancement to Partner is well deserved, despite the delays due to the pandemic and lockdown, and is part of the firm’s strategy to grow our key advisory services to clients.”
