Accountancy firm further boosts its business advisory offering

Leading East Anglian accountancy and business advisory firm Larking Gowen has announced a new appointment to its Norwich Business Team, emphasising the focus on advisory services.

Will Gibbs has spent the last four years with the firm's Corporate Transactions team and is now joining the Norwich Business team as a Senior Manager. The focus of Will’s role will be advising new and existing clients on opportunities to add value to their businesses and boost growth.

"Our Business Team supports a fantastic array of growing and successful enterprises across all sectors. We have been supporting many of these long-standing clients in their annual accounts, tax and management accounts over many years," he said.

"With developments in technology we are now perfectly placed to support our clients further by looking behind the numbers and in addition to supporting them with historic accounts, advise on live and future facing decisions, analysis and growth."

Will, who is originally from Norwich, studied economics at the University of York and then spent three years with a large London-based accountancy practice before returning to his home city.

"I've spent four years in Corporate Transactions with Larking Gowen and will continue to support the team helping clients with business acquisitions and disposals. This experience provides a great platform for getting under the skin of business and understanding what drives it forward and what influences returns and values," he said.

Becky Ames, Business Team Lead Partner at Larking Gowen, said: "We are very pleased that Will is going to be joining the Business team to further drive our advisory offering. The accountancy profession is changing fast, with the development of digital solutions giving our clients ever better data to drive their businesses forward. 

"We can add real value in advising our clients on how they can achieve their goals, and Will’s experience in Corporate Transactions brings a new focus and dynamic to our offering."
