Additional staff have joined RNS Independent Financial Advisers to meet an ever-increasing demand for its services.

New faces have also been appointed by the accounts practice, ensuring it continues to provide first class customer service.

Azmeena Modak has joined recent recruit Victoria Setford as a Financial Planning Support Assistant in financial services, headed up by partners Andrew Clayton and Alex Douglas.

Investment is also being made to upskill existing members of the team.

Aiden Boucher completed his Regulated Financial Planning Qualification from the Chartered Insurance Institute in the spring.

On the chartered accountants' side of the practice, Bianca Cotovan, Kiera Twells and Helen Bolger have joined as trainee accountants, Chloe Drury is an addition in Brigg as an accounts senior, while Kat Grundy strengthens the administration team in Scunthorpe.

The appointments, said partner Robert Smith, were a nod to the future and strengthened the practice.

“We have built an excellent reputation for training accountants and it's terrific to be able to attract talented, local young people to the practice,” Robert said.

“It is also important to our succession planning that we have excellent staff, focused on customer service, able to step up to future roles.”

Clients, Robert said, have been taking advantage of the firm's joined up approach to accounts and financial services.

Meetings in the past few months have involved partners and managers from the accountancy side of the business and independent financial advisers.

“Pension planning is a prime example of where a joined-up approach is in the client's best interests,” said Robert.

“A partner or manager from the accounts side can discuss potential tax issues, for instance, and a fully qualified independent financial adviser can advise on pensions and investment opportunities.

“Inheritance can come into the picture and sometimes clients have sold property. We can look at options to minimise the impact of Inheritance or Capital Gains Tax.

“Clients don't need to have different meetings with various people. We can do it in one here.

“RNS is, in effect, a one-stop shop for all things financial, whether you are a business or an individual.”
