PKF Littlejohn has appointed Andrew Simpson as a partner in its London Audit team.

Andrew becomes the latest senior appointment from one of the Big Four practices, as PKF Littlejohn consolidates its position as a challenger firm in the audit market.

Andrew has a near 20-year track record of auditing large private and listed clients across a wide range of sectors, and has worked with numerous blue-chip names throughout his career.

Dominic Roberts, managing partner of PKF Littlejohn, said: “We’ve grown significantly over the past few years because we understand what our clients want, treat them as people rather than organisations, and consistently deliver high quality work.  Maintaining this ethos requires us to hire and retain the best people and then to provide them with support and opportunities to fulfil their potential.

“Andrew’s arrival supports this wider strategic objective and is yet another example of our investment in our people.

“Andrew will be working with some of our larger clients, helping us to continue to expand this important area of our business.   We are particularly well-known for working with complex, high-profile businesses in fast-moving and highly technical areas; this is exactly the area in which Andrew has gained his reputation.

“It is an exciting time to be at PKF Littlejohn and I look forward to working with Andrew to shape our future success.”
