Lifecycle increases member support in Yorkshire

Committed to supporting SME accountants to grow their practices and client base, Lifecycle’s Leeds office has just further enhanced its member relations with the appointment of Harriet Gibbs as manager.

Lifecycle is a collective of specialist, non-core professional services provided to over 2000 SME accountants in the UK through Leonard Curtis Business Solutions Group (LCBSG) companies.

Harriet joins Lifecycle from a FTSE 250 recruitment group, where she was a senior consultant specialising in appointments of senior finance candidates across Yorkshire. She brings with her over six-years’ experience of corporate finance, gained in analyst roles involving business acquisition, disposal and refinance, as well as transactional assignments.

She’s the latest addition to the Lifecycle team, which works from Leonard Curtis’ 17 offices nationwide with a 200-strong team.

In her new role, Harriet is responsible for developing the profile of Lifecycle amongst accountants in the city and across Yorkshire.

Based in the company’s Park Row office, in Leeds city centre, she is already working with network members to determine how services provided by Leonard Curtis Business Solutions Group (LCBSG) - provider of Lifecycle - can support their businesses. Also within her remit is outreach to those regional SME accountants who have not signed up to Lifecycle, which is free to join.

Sean Williams, Director at Leonard Curtis Business Solutions Group in Leeds, said: “As the popularity of Lifecycle continues to grow – and demand for our services increases in Leeds and across Yorkshire - we are delighted to welcome Harriet on board.

“She has enviable financial and commercial experience which, when combined with her proven track record in relationship and business development, is hugely beneficial to regional accountants.

Harriet Gibbs said: “Lifecycle is already well established amongst SME accountants and the business owners they advise. I’m delighted to now be giving those local to me in Yorkshire access to specialists and expertise that has previously been the reserve of larger companies. By plugging any gaps, we’re helping enhance their service offering, which makes a real difference in terms of practice growth.”
