PKF BBA has announced the appointment of Nicholas James as Audit Director.
Nicholas brings more than ten years of experience in audit and assurance, with a particular focus on financial services. He began his career in South Africa before moving to the Channel Islands, where he spent the last decade working with investment managers and private funds at a Big Four firm.
David Moehle, Partner and Head of Audit at PKF BBA, said: “Our aim is to deliver well-structured, effective audits that meet high professional standards whilst keeping the process as straightforward as possible for clients. Nicholas’ strong technical knowledge and experience with clients in the regulated financial services and funds sectors make him a great fit for the team. He’s also someone who values collaboration and mentoring, which is important to us as we continue to invest in developing our people and building a strong audit team for the future.”
Commenting on his new role, Nicholas said: “I’m excited to have joined PKF BBA. The firm has a strong reputation locally, and its focus on building lasting client relationships and supporting its team really resonates with me. I’m particularly interested in helping to grow our work with private funds and regulated businesses, areas where I believe we have a clear and credible offer in the market.”
As Audit Director, Nicholas will be responsible for leading client engagements, supporting team development, and contributing to the firm’s visibility in the local business community.
