Accountancy firm doubles office space as it plans recruitment drive

Derby-based Ascentant Accountancy has moved office so that it has room for new staff members.

The firm has moved to Ivygrove property Keynes House as headcount continues to increase. The new space allows the firm to provide free hot desking to clients, an incubator space for start-up businesses and dedicated conference room facilities for client roundtables and networking events.

Ascentant Accountancy has recruited new legal cashier, Su Churm, from Rothera Sharp and a new apprentice, Thomas Finnegan via local provider, EMA Training.

Managing director, Kevin Drew, said: “The move has really enabled us to facilitate our growth plans as we can build out new client offerings, grow our headcount and build a community around our business.

“We quite literally ran out of space in our prior office, which impacted our ability to recruit and our ability to grow.
“We can now really focus on moving forward and have a number of new hires in the pipeline. The last 12 months have seen rapid growth at the business, record turnover and a churn of new client engagements.”
