AAT qualified Sam boasts a decade of practice experience and joins the firm from a national accountancy and business practice where she worked as an accounts manager for six years.

Spencer recently completed an AAT Level 2 Bookkeeping course at iCount Training in Chester, prior to which he studied A levels in Maths, Economics and History at Castell Alun High School in Hope.

Sam said: “Champion has a great reputation, an excellent client base of local start-ups and SMEs and a clear ambition to grow which provides a brilliant place to work for career-driven individuals. This, and the practice’s friendly atmosphere is what attracted me to the role.”

Spencer added: “I’m excited to join the team. Champion offers great training and I look forward to learning new things every day.”
