Forvis Mazars in the UK has promoted Laura Salter to the role of partner within the financial planning practice in its Birmingham office.

As partner, Salter will continue to steer the financial planning offering and support the company’s growth in the Midlands.

Her brief includes developing the team’s skills base and strengthening the company’s position in Birmingham’s business community.

Nationally, the financial planning team includes more than 100 professionals across ten offices, overseeing £2.8bn ($3.8bn) in funds under management.

Forvis Mazars financial planning partner and Leeds office managing partner Natalie Wright said: “I am proud to champion exceptional colleagues like Laura as they grow into their potential and progress into senior roles at the firm.

“Laura consistently delivers an outstanding experience for our clients, and I am delighted to see her reach this significant milestone in her career.”

Salter joined Forvis Mazars in 2013 as a graduate. She has been in charge of the Birmingham financial planning team since 2018.

During that period, the practice has grown substantially, supported by collaboration with other service lines to deliver tailored support to clients.

Salter said: “It is a privilege to step into the role of partner after more than a decade with the firm. I am incredibly proud of the team we have built in Birmingham and excited to continue expanding our offering across the Midlands.

“Supporting our clients to achieve exceptional outcomes and long-term financial confidence is at the heart of what we do, and I am looking forward to driving further development of our practice in my new role.”

In January this year, Forvis Mazars opened a new office at Three Chamberlain Square in Birmingham to strengthen its presence across the Midlands.
