Tunbridge Wells based chartered accountants Perrys has announced that tax specialist Craig Harman has been promoted to partner at the age of 26.

Craig, who is the second youngest partner in the history of the company, missing out by just four days to CEO Stewart Pope, joined the company in 2007 initially qualifying as a Certified Accountant with ACCA.

Craig said:

“I am delighted to be entering this new phase in my career with Perrys. The accountancy industry is constantly developing due to the ever-moving tax legislation, which, given the current political uncertainty, looks set to continue for the foreseeable

future.  This, in conjunction with the addition of new services such as probate, means it is an exciting industry to be involved in.  I am very much looking forward to what the future brings.”
