Cowgills’ international link-up

NORTH West business advisers Cowgill Holloway has boosted its international links by joining  IAPA – a global association of independent accountancy firms.

The firm, which currently employs more than 140 staff at offices in Bolton, Manchester and Liverpool, says the move will allow it to expand its range of services for existing clients and serve a wider spectrum of clients. IAPA has 230 members in 50 countries.

Cowgills managing partner, Paul Stansfield said: “We feel that we will now be able to compete on a level with the other major accountancy firms operating on a national and international scale.

“Becoming part of the global association gives us the benefit of remaining a North West business with sound local knowledge and close client relationships but at the same time offering specialist services where needed, we will be well placed to service clients as well as offering specialty services that we haven’t previously.”
