Campbell Dallas high-flyers enter top young global CA list
Campbell Dallas has seen a trio of high-flyers make it into the Global 100. Three of the very talented team at accountancy firm Campbell Dallas – Jessica Orr, Andrew Rennie and David Booth – have been named in the Top 100 Young global CAS, a prestigious list cre - ated by Icas to spot the next generation of leaders in the accountancy profession. Orr was recruited into Campbell Dallas as its first ever school leaver at the age of 16 and has picked up several awards along the way to becoming a CA. She is now an executive based in the firm’s growing corporate finance team where she is already leading financial due diligence and complex assignments. Since joining Campbell Dallas in 2018 from a global consultancy firm, Rennie has transitioned into the corporate finance team where he has made a significant impact as a highly motivated, results driven adviser and deal maker. He has progressed rapidly at Campbell Dallas and is now a manager providing strategic advice to a broad range of owner managed clients. This is the second year in a row that Aberdeenbased Booth has been nominated for the Global Top 100.
A group of seven graduates have started their chartered account ancy journey, after securing posts with leading taxation and business advisory practice, EQ Accountants LLP.
As the EQ offices remain closed following government advice, the firm has adapted its usual induction process and training programme to accommodate the current situation. Instead of “onboarding” in an office environment, everything will be done digitally including their initial welcome and team introductions. The seven new graduates represent a range of disciplines. David Cameron, managing partner, said: “With growing demand and necessity for the services we provide, it’s crucial that we have the right people in place. We are therefore delighted to welcome this group of talented, young people to our growing workforce, regardless of the ongoing circumstances.”
Charlotte Street Partners, the strategic consultancy based in Edinburgh and London, continues to invest in an increasingly global team. Joining the company as researchers – albeit remotely, for now – are Ralitsa Bobcheva and LiAnn Chin, who negotiated a recruitment process that saw nearly 100 people apply for an initial summer internship with the firm. Bobcheva and Chin are both recent graduates of University College London.
