Chiene & Tait has appointed financial services and SME expert David Shadwell as a partner on his return to the UK after nearly nine years in New Zealand.
Shadwell joins the firm's Accounts and Business Support team in Edinburgh from Wellington-based financial services specialist Findex, one of New Zealand's largest advisory firms, where he was managing partner. The University of Edinburgh graduate, originally from Buckinghamshire, qualified with Deloitte in the Isle of Man before moving to Moore Stephens, where he was a partner and director.
He moved to New Zealand with Deloitte in 2011 before moving on to Findex company Crowe Horwath. Shadwell also sat on the disciplinary board of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand.
Shadwell said: “I’m delighted to be back in Edinburgh and joining the impressive team at Chiene & Tait after nine fantastic years abroad. I look forward to working closely with my new colleagues, building on my experience and helping further develop the firm’s business.”
Jeremy Chittleburgh, senior partner and head of C+T Accounts and Business Support team, said: “We warmly welcome David, who brings a high level of international experience to the firm, particularly within the financial services and SME sectors. Despite the challenges of operating in the current pandemic, our team continues to grow and support our clients through this unprecedented time.”
