INCREASING demand from new and existing clients has led to the expansion of the team at Hall Morrice, with eight new starts. Three new senior appointments have been made at the independent chartered accountancy firm.
Tara Lister joins the team as senior manager accounts and business advisory. Tara’s role will include leading the firm’s digital solutions for clients in the lead up to HMRC’s move to Making Tax Digital for Business (MTDfB) in 2024. Tara is relocating to Aberdeen, where she studied and began her career, from Surrey where she worked for fellow Prime Global partner Dixcart UK as accounting services manager.
