Kilsby Williams adds Margaret Harrison to director group

UK accountancy and tax practice Kilsby Williams has expanded its senior leadership team with the appointment of Margaret Harrison as a director.

Harrison will be responsible for developing and broadening Kilsby Williams’ services for non‑audit clients.

Specialising in advisory and compliance work for audit-exempt small and medium-sized enterprises, Harrison will work alongside partners and the business services, tax and payroll teams.

Kilsby Williams partner Jonathan Harrhy said: “Margaret’s reputation as a trusted business advisor, built on close client relationships and technical expertise, aligns perfectly with the foundation of our own client service, and we are delighted to welcome her to our team.

“We look forward to seeing her experience and expertise in action to elevate our advisory and compliance services for audit-exempt businesses.”

Harrison joins the Newport, Wales-headquartered independent practice from MHA.

There, she qualified as a chartered accountant and gained experience leading the business services team.

Commenting on her appointment, Harrison said: “I was drawn to working with Kilsby Williams as it has a strong local identity which, as well as being professional and commercial, puts commitment to clients and client service at its core.

“These are values which resonate with my own values and which I have worked towards throughout my career.

“The firm has a reputation for being an employer which values and looks after its people, and I am looking forward to being a part of this team and contributing to its success.”

Kilsby Williams was founded in 1991.

The company serves in South Wales, elsewhere in the UK and overseas, with a client portfolio that ranges from sole traders to international quoted companies.

In May last year, Kilsby Williams introduced a new service specialising in forensic accounting and expert witness support.
