Greaves West & Ayre (GWA), a UK-based chartered accountancy practice, has promoted Joseph Findlay and Matthew Taylor as partners.

Both Findlay and Taylor became part of the firm in 2019 and achieved their qualifications as chartered accountants in 2022.

Joseph Findlay offers considerable expertise in tax planning, concentrating on succession and inheritance tax, capital gains, and income tax.

He delivers advisory support to a varied clientele, including owner-managed enterprises, individuals, and charitable organisations.

Joseph said: “Having set out to become a chartered accountant following university, my goal has always been to assist local businesses and individuals which Greaves West & Ayre has been doing successfully for over 100 years.

“I am delighted to be joining the partnership and look forward to contributing further to both the firm, and the wider business community.”

Matthew Taylor primarily works within the tax division, focusing on compliance, financial forecasting, and business restructuring.

His specialisation also includes inheritance tax, estate planning, lifetime gifting, and trust management.

Matthew added: “I joined Greaves West & Ayre because I wanted to assist clients with all aspects of accountancy, tax planning and business consultancy, which this firm offers.

“I have enjoyed supporting the partners in advising our clients and I am looking forward to taking the next step in my career and being a direct point of contact for our clients and their businesses.”

GWA partner Colin Frame said: “Joseph and Matthew are great examples of our approach to recruiting and training.

“Both of them joined the firm as trainees, and through their hard work, with support from our wider team, they have earned this promotion.

“As partners, they will continue their professional development for many years. I wish them many congratulations.”
