He developed his strong technical skills in a Big Four audit practice, and works closely with clients to build a deep understanding of their business and help them find practical solutions to problems.

As a former Audit Director in their Bath office, John has nearly 20 years’ accounting and auditing experience. He is experienced in a wide range of commercial sectors, from technology and professional services to manufacturing and leisure and hospitality start-up businesses, and in not-for-profit organisations, including charities and Academies. John previously worked for a national practice in Bristol.

Bishop Fleming’s Managing Partner, Andrew Sandiford, in welcoming the trio to the partnership, said: I am delighted to announce these senior promotions, as Isobel, Nathan and John all have a great depth of technical expertise and experience within their sectors.
