Accounting and advisory association HLB Mann Judd has revealed 11 promotions across multiple offices.
The selections are across the network’s taxation, audit, business services, and corporate advisory divisions.
HLB Mann Judd association chair Tony Fittler said that the number of appointments reflected the development and depth of employees at the firm.
“Our new appointments have all been with the HLB network of firms for some time and while attracting quality staff in this market can be a challenge, retaining them is another. These promotions recognise the value of the knowledge and expertise that our people have developed,” said Mr Fittler.
“Staff are the backbone of professional service firms, and we do our utmost to acknowledge skills and expertise, as well as commitment.
“The network congratulates each of the 11 appointed to their new roles, and looks forward to the important contribution they will continue to make to their respective firms.”
