Two new managers have joined the firm, Abby Sarre has been appointed as Tax Manager and Edoabasi Nkanga is an Audit Manager.

Abby has seven years’ experience in tax and has worked in London and Guernsey, she specialises in providing advice on complex tax issues and tax planning, as well as succession planning and corporation tax.

I’m excited to develop skills in my team as that’s the most satisfying aspect of my job.”

Richard Searle, Managing Director of BDO Guernsey, said: “These 10 appointments strengthen our team and the range of expertise we’re able to offer our clients. We work with such a wide range of local businesses that it’s important to be able to provide the right expertise and the relevant experience, and with these new team members we absolutely have that. Continuing BDO’s growth journey by welcoming new people to the firm, and some of them to the island, is incredibly rewarding.”
