Hodgsons creates new Client Director role to expand team and support future plans

Falmouth-based accountancy firm strengthens senior leadership to drive sustainable growth

A leading accountancy firm in Cornwall is expanding its senior team with a new role designed to support its future ambitions and build stronger client relationships.

Hodgsons, the Falmouth-based Chartered Accountants and Business Advisors, has announced the creation of a Client Director position. The role is aimed at an experienced and motivated professional who can contribute to the firm’s continued success and long-term growth.

Founded in 1942 by the grandfather of current director James Hodgson, the company has developed from supporting Cornwall’s farming community to serving clients across a broad range of sectors, including landed estates, professional services and commercial trades, both in the region and further afield.

“This new role offers a fantastic opportunity for an exceptional individual to play a key role in the continued success and sustainable growth of our thriving family firm,” said James Hodgson.

Key responsibilities and opportunity for impact

The Client Director will join the senior team and be responsible for managing a portfolio of business clients. The role involves developing strong relationships, delivering tailored accounting, tax and business advisory services, and identifying opportunities to support business development.

The successful candidate will also contribute to practice management and take part in shaping the firm’s strategic direction.

“The successful candidate will bring a client-centric focus, a commercial approach, proven technical expertise and the drive to develop their own career,” added James.

Staying true to its values

Hodgsons says its growth hasn’t come at the expense of the values it was built on.

“My grandfather’s ethos was to provide expertise, insightful advice and a level of personalised service that clients could not readily find elsewhere,” said James. “Those core values are our mainstay, which is why some of our clients have chosen to work with us for generations.”

“While compliance accounting services are still an integral element, the modern accountancy practice offers so much more, from expertise in tax planning for private individuals and families to corporate finance and business development, and this new role will make a real impact by contributing to our ambitious plans for the future.”
