Robson Laidler Accountants has announced a new appointment to its business advisory team as it gears up for further growth.
Dan Adamson, 30, has taken on the role as business advisor having previously worked at the firm, which has offices in Newcastle and Chester le Street, for the past three years as an accountant in the business innovation department.
Dan who is pending Mindshop accreditation, has made the switch to advisory following his recognition and passion for solving client issues and making referrals for more strategic cashflow planning and forecasting, which has already seen the department witness 22% growth in the past 12-months.
Head of Robson Laidler’s business accelerator services Jack Spoor said: “Dan’s appointment has come at a crucial time for us to take advantage of new opportunities coming our way and to develop our strategy for future growth.
“Businesses are operating in an increasingly competitive world impacted by economic and environmental challenges, recruitment demands and technological advancements and Dan’s commercial acumen and the strategic business skills he has demonstrated in helping to grow the business innovation department will be invaluable in the development of our advisory offerings.”
Speaking of his new role, Daniel Adamson said: “I am passionate about helping business to succeed, that’s what drives me, and I am so fortunate that Robson Laidler has provided me with an opportunity to grow and develop my career with relative autonomy, supported by an ambitious and highly capable team.
“I really enjoy being asked unique questions and scenarios from clients about their business performance, forecasting trends, staffing and operational queries and then being able to help solve them and make decisions to help them future proof.”
Robson Laidler accelerator client Emma Walker for EW Estates said: “Dan has helped me turn my business around. I wouldn’t be in the strong financial position I am now in it if wasn’t for his guidance.”
With the appointment of Dan, Robson Laidler’s Business Accelerator services are set to increase turnover by 28% in the next year.
Dan continued: “Business Accelerator services are ideal for business owners who are growing sustainably, scaling up and looking to create a high performing team. Our team of Mindshop accredited business coaches and motivational map practitioners can also provide regular coaching support.
“Having vast accounting and audit experience in our team also gives us a cutting-edge advantage when it comes to submitting research and development claims for our clients.”
