Banks Chartered Accountants have appointed Paula Forbes-Smith to the role of accounts manager.
Paula studied at Liverpool University and spent a further year in the city working for a firm of accountants before joining Swindon-based Banks 11 years ago.
A Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, she has undergone all her training with the Old Town firm.
Alongside fellow accounts managers Louise Rhoades and Ben Haines, Paula will oversee the team dealing with the accounts of business clients ranging from sole traders to limited companies.
Banks director Neil Elsden said: “It has been delightful to see Paula's career progress and develop to the point that she is now an accounts manager. We are very pleased that she has accepted the appointment and we wish her every success.”
Paula, a mother of two, added: “I’m excited to be taking on the role. I’ll be overseeing a range of work, from accounting to bookkeeping and VAT, and liaising directly with clients.”
