High-flying accountant recognised

Page Kirk has promoted one of their chartered accountants to Assistant Manager just 15 months after he qualified in the profession.

Thomas Ignatowicz, who joined the firm on a training contract in September 2012 and qualified as a chartered accountant in 2015, has been promoted to the role within the audit department.

His experience is already extensive and covers owner-managed businesses and international subsidiaries. Thomas also completed a three-month work exchange in 2016 with Page Kirk’s associated CPAmerica member Aldrich in Portland, Oregon, USA to expand his international audit and accounting experience.

Thomas commented: 'To be promoted to assistant manager just 15 months after qualifying shows the trust and faith Page Kirk have in me, as well as making me feel a valued member of the team. The new position will allow me to have more time facing clients and will show our trainees and graduates what can be achieved with some hard work.'

John Wallis, Senior Partner at the firm said: 'We try to ensure that our entire staff feel fulfilled in their role and obtain the recognition they deserve. Thomas’s outstanding contribution to the audit department in such a short time warrants recognition. He is exceptionally talented and it only seems natural for him to take on this role. We wish him every success in his future career with us.'
