PKF Francis Clark has announced a number of promotions. Chloe Mills and Liam Dushynsky have been made partners in the firm, while Chris Rodgers, Sarah Brown, Adam Waddle, Kieran Hancock and Mark Bishop are promoted to director roles. The newly promoted partners and directors are based in the Poole, Exeter, Torquay and Plymouth offices.

Exeter-based Liam joined PKF Francis Clark in 2005 as a graduate trainee and is now a key member of the firm’s VAT and customs team. His clients range from family businesses to FTSE 100 companies, adapt to changes in legislation.

“Over the past 16 years, I’ve seen the firm grow enormously,” said Liam. “The beauty of a firm our size is you can gain experience in all departments and then pursue your interest in the area you excel in.

“What I love about my work is solving real business issues for our clients. The stereotype of accountants just crunching numbers is long gone – our job is about helping people do business.

“I’ve learned something new every day, and I gain a lot of satisfaction from seeing my team grow in knowledge and expertise. We’ve come a long way, to the point where we’re regularly involved in advising policymakers on the development of new legislation, and I’m genuinely excited about our future. My ambition for the team is to enable more businesses to get on with what they do best.”
