PM+M has appointed Luqmaan Essa as a director in its accounting and advisory team.

Luqmaan joins PM+M from Azets (previously Baldwins) where he was a client relationship manager. He joined Cassons Chartered Accountants in 2003, which was subsequently taken over by Baldwins in 2017.  Over the past 18 years he has mainly dealt with owner-managed businesses so has extensive expertise in advising and helping clients to achieve their short and long-term business objectives.

PM+M’s accounting and advisory team primarily advises the owners and directors of family and privately owned businesses to support them in achieving their business and personal goals. It offers a wide range of services including forecasting and business planning, annual accounts and tax returns, bookkeeping, company secretarial and VAT compliance.

Helen Clayton, partner and head of PM+M’s Bury office, said: “We are delighted that Luqmaan has joined us at what is an exciting time of growth - both for our Bury office and the wider firm. The pandemic has, of course, made many businesses reassess their goals and objectives, so his skills, insight and expertise will be of huge value to our clients as we all move towards brighter times and plan for the future.”

Luqmaan said of his new role: “I have long admired PM+M’s ambition and its commitment to always strive for excellence so this is an exciting step in my career. My appointment in the Bury office also further cements the firm’s commitment to the region and our clients. I am now looking forward to helping further strengthen the team and contribute to its continued success.”
