Beever and Struthers on track for 10 per cent growth

Beever and Struthers has announced its latest round of appointments as it enjoys a successful year of growth.

Dean Curtis has re-joined the chartered accountants and business advisors from Ballard Evans Corporate Finance, and will support John Jones, corporate services partner, providing advice to clients looking for strategic or financial support.

Dean Curtis said: "Having spent the past four years further developing my M&A skills and experience in the SME market, I’m delighted to have re-joined the firm at this point in its growth.

"This is a fantastic opportunity to help build a team focusing on advising our clients across a variety of sectors, from business sales through to private equity transactions, acquisitions, MBO/MBIs and fundraising."

Dean joins newly promoted directors in both the audit (Richard Graham and Jonathan Mather), and tax departments (Julie Hernon) reflecting the growth of the firm over recent months.

Recruitment has continued through the pandemic at record levels, bringing many new faces to the teams across all locations. Growth within the not-for-profit sector in particular has led to several new appointments, including Helen Storr, Senior Manager based in our London office.

And at the same time the firm’s placement scheme, offering paid experience to university students to work with us over the summer, is bigger and better than ever before with 27 joining the team in the next few weeks.

The firm is seeing record growth in all its locations, and service lines, with revenues anticipated to grow by 10 per cent in the current year.

Maria Hallows, executive partner, said: "We are delighted to welcome Dean back to our team. His skills will be valuable in delivering the corporate finance work that our clients need as the economy gets back on its feet."
