South Coast: HWB strengthens team with new appointments

HWB, one of the region’s largest independent accountancy firms, has strengthened its senior team with the appointment of two highly-experienced specialists in tax and payroll.

Martin Day joins HWB as tax manager. With 28 years of high-level experience on tax-related matters, Day was previously tax manager at RSM, the top 10 accountancy practice.

Amy Whitehouse joins HWB from Frontier Software where she was a payroll consultant and has been appointed payroll manager. With a total of 15 years of experience in her specialism, Whitehouse previously worked at South Downs College where she managed the payroll at the Waterlooville College for eight years.

Both will be using their experience to work with HWB’s growing client base across Hampshire, Dorset and Wiltshire.

Day said: “HWB is a highly-respected accountancy firm with a reputation for its pedigree in specialist tax advice across all areas, so I’m delighted to join their tax team.

“I’m particularly looking forward to HWB’s personal approach to doing business, giving a tailored, bespoke service to each and every client.”

Whitehouse said: “I’m really looking forward to working with such a high-calibre team to provide payroll solutions for a wide variety of businesses across the region.”

Geoff Rhodes, managing director at Southampton-based HWB, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Martin and Amy to the team.

“We are constantly looking to invest in talented individuals and Martin and Amy further strengthen our specialism in tax and payroll.”
