Accountancy firm BHP has announced two key promotions to Director within its Charities team.
Neil Baldwin, from the firm’s Cleckheaton office, and Nicola Adams, at Chesterfield office, have both been promoted to Director Responsible Individual, meaning they are able to sign off client audits on behalf of the firm.
Nicola joined the firm straight out of school in 2007, and became a Chartered Accountant in 2012, having completed her AAT qualification. Nicola was previously on the audit committee of Chesterfield College and has been a trustee of Derwent Rural Counselling Service for over 10 years, including being Chair from 2016 to 2018.
Jane Marshall, Partner and Head of Charities and Not for Profit, said: “At BHP, we’re committed to supporting and developing the skills of our people for the long term. To see Neil and Nicola, who both joined the business at the start of their careers, take the next step on their journey is fantastic and a testament to their hard work on behalf of our charity clients.
“I look forward to continuing to work with them to support our clients as we navigate the continuing challenging economic environment.”
Nicola said: “I am extremely proud to have achieved this promotion at BHP. A Responsible Individual role was always something I personally wanted to achieve in my career. BHP has given me the support and opportunity to do this, and I am looking forward to taking on new responsibilities and putting pen to paper on audit reports.”
