An accountancy firm has announced a new appointment to its Hexham office.
Armstrong Watson has appointed Jacob Proudfoot as a financial planning consultant in the town.
Mr Proudfoot joins the team at Millburn House in Hexham Business Park after four years with national wealth management firm Fairstone.
He said: "I’m excited to join Armstrong Watson and look forward to supporting clients in making confident, informed decisions about their finances.
"The firm’s commitment to providing clear, tailored advice really aligns with my approach.
"I’m passionate about helping individuals and business owners achieve their personal and financial goals."
A Northumbria University graduate with a diploma from the Chartered Insurance Institute, Mr Proudfoot advises on pensions, investments, retirement and protection planning.
He is currently working towards his Chartered Financial Planner status.
Kerry Chaloner, regional financial planning manager at Armstrong Watson, said: "We are proud and excited to welcome Jacob to Armstrong Watson and look forward to the valuable contribution he will make to our financial planning team in the region."
Mr Proudfoot’s appointment is one of four hires within Armstrong Watson’s financial planning team.
Other new financial planning consultants include Thomas Edwards in Newcastle, Bianca Chibanda in Kendal and Alastair Pickard in Glasgow.
The appointments follow Armstrong Watson’s acquisition of Martin Aitken and Co earlier this year, which brought 12 additional financial advisory colleagues into the Glasgow office.
The financial planning team now comprises nearly 70 staff members across the business.
