HURST grows team amid rapid expansion

Stockport-based accounting and advisory firm HURST has welcomed new recruits across business services, tax, corporate finance and digital transformation.

Zeeshan Merchant and Joe Goscomb have joined as manager and associate manager, respectively, while Danielle Tierney has been promoted to corporate finance manager. 

Six new graduates and one apprentice have also joined the firm’s trainee cohort.

The hires follow HURST’s head office move to 3 Stockport Exchange and form part of its strategy to double turnover by 2028.

Partner Simon Brownbill, the firm’s director of practice development, said: “We’re increasingly seeing interest in joining HURST from candidates at larger firms who tell us they are looking for a more dynamic, people-focused environment where they can make a real impact.

“We pride ourselves on offering the perfect balance of high-calibre work and a strong, supportive culture, and that is clearly resonating with ambitious professionals previously at Big Four firms.

“We’ve welcomed people from a wide range of academic backgrounds, not just finance or accounting, who are curious, collaborative and driven to make a difference – qualities that align with our culture.

“This is the latest chapter in delivering on the growth strategy that we recently set out. 

“We’re continuing to invest in the next generation of talent, bringing in people who are not only technically strong but who also share our values and want to be part of a firm where they can grow and make a real impact.

“Danielle’s promotion is thoroughly deserved. 

“She consistently goes above and beyond for her clients and colleagues, and she embodies the values we’re proud of at HURST. 

“Her drive, expertise and positive energy make a real impact and we’re delighted to see her stepping up into this next role.”
