Leading law firm Flint Bishop has announced the strategic lateral hire of Dale Bradbury as Project Accountant as part of its ongoing commitment to invest in its staff and ensure it is well-positioned for strategic growth.
Bradbury joins Flint Bishop from Knights PLC, where he held the position of Project Accountant. Prior to working at Knights, Bradbury held various financial reporting and auditing roles with companies such as RSM, specialising in statutory accounting, efficiency projects, and change management.
In his new role, Bradbury will report directly to Flint Bishop’s leadership team and work closely with Chief Executive Qamer Ghafoor on acquisition targets, performing high-level due diligence to ensure the financial performance is suitable for take-on. He will oversee all key touchpoints for any acquisitions; assisting with valuations and negotiations, conducting various fact-finding exercises, and remaining a key contact for acquired staff post-acquisition.
In addition, Bradbury will work alongside the accounts leadership team on acquisitions and select projects that support the firm’s financial and risk management operations and overarching finance strategy, reviewing internal matrix and various modelling.
Ghafoor said: “We are thrilled to have Dale on board as part of our commitment to our ambitious growth strategy. His extensive experience in financial analysis will be a valuable asset to our firm as we go through a period of further planned expansion.
“To ensure that the firm is well placed for strategic growth across all areas, we are continuing to invest in our staff, making multiple critical appointments as well investing in all fee-earning and support departments. This will ensure we are well positioned to proactively pursue the next phase of development for the firm, specifically relating to targeted acquisition.”
