Swindon-based accountancy and tax services provider PPS Chartered Accountants has consolidated a near 30% growth over recent months by recruiting four new staff.
Joining the firm are accountants Thisara Ranthilake Gedara and Daniele Martini Shayler, bookkeeper Emma Dreano and trainee Lucy Pearce. 
Thisara is an ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) affiliate and qualified to ACCA P4 (advanced finance management) and P7 (advanced audit). He was previously site manager at Credentai Forecourts.
Daniele is also an ACCA affiliate as well as having a BTEC Advance Payroll Technician. Her previous roles include European finance assistant analyst at Travelport and payroll supervisor at Lancaster London Hotel.
Emma headed up housekeeping at Whatley Manor Hotel and Spa near Malmesbury. In this diverse role she oversaw the hotel’s daily operations and managed its accounts. Emma is now studying for her ATT (Association of Taxation Technicians) qualification.
Lucy originally joined PPS for some work experience in 2014. Having shown great aptitude for accountancy and commitment to the role, she has been taken on by the firm and has just obtained her AAT qualification (Association of Accounting Technicians). She will now progress into her Chartered student role to obtain her ACA (Association of Chartered Accountants) qualification.
The new recruits bring the total staffing at PPS to 11.
