BDO appoints audit partner

Accountancy and business advisory firm BDO LLP has appointed Andrew McIntosh as audit partner, strengthening its leadership team across Yorkshire and the North East.

Andrew joins BDO’s audit practice after 15 years at PwC, where he advised growing businesses across the region. 

Based in Leeds, he brings particular expertise in digital audit, supporting organisations with the audit of IT systems and controls alongside the use of data-driven auditing techniques.

The appointment follows a period of sustained growth for BDO’s Leeds office, including recent senior promotions and hires within its transaction services and M&A teams.

Andrew said: “BDO’s reputation for helping ambitious businesses to succeed is exactly what attracted me, and the current momentum in the Leeds office was very compelling.

“What excites me most is the opportunity to work with talented colleagues, in a positive culture, while helping them navigate the shift towards digital audit techniques and advanced analytics. 

“I look forward to supporting clients as they navigate increasing complexity, regulation and change and find opportunities for growth.”

BDO provides audit, tax and advisory services to businesses across the UK and continues to invest in regional leadership as demand for locally focused expertise increases.

Dan Brookes, partner in Yorkshire and North East at BDO, added: “It’s brilliant to be announcing another partner appointment as part of our continued growth in Yorkshire and the North East and our investment in the region. 

“As a local and global adviser, we have the scale to assemble the best group of specialists and sector experts from our national and international network while maintaining the ability to be innovative and understand the markets in which our clients operate. 

“We’ll continue to invest in our people and their development to ensure we attract and nurture the region’s top talent.”
