Chartered accountants Clement Keys has appointed Chartered
Accountant Fleur Holden as a new partner bringing the total to
thirteen. Mrs Holden joined Clement Keys last year in response to
continued growth in the audit business and the charities and not
for profit department.
Mrs Holden graduated from Leeds University with a BA Hons
degree, trained with Grant Thornton and qualified as an Associate
Chartered Accountant in 2000.
Commenting on the new appointment, Phil Cook, Managing Partner
at Clement Keys said: "Fleur has a broad range of expertise and is
a welcome addition to our partnership.
"We are committed to recognising talent and potential in our
senior managers and promoting to partner on merit rather then age
or gender. Our position as one of the regions most successful
independent firms is testament to the strength and diversity of the
partners who are driving forward the expansion of the
business."
Female partners are a rarity in the accountancy profession and
this appointment makes the ratio of female partners one in seven at
Clement Keys, higher than the latest national average of one in
ten, according to the latest survey from Accountancy Age
magazine.
