Hobsons was established in 1927 and is one of the leading independent accountancy practices in the East Midlands. We operate from offices in Nottingham and Newark and provide services to owner managed businesses, schools, charities and individuals throughout the East Midlands.
Our strengths are our independence; reputation for quality and attention to detail; and being competent and reliable business advisors. We are a progressive practice, providing a wide range of accounting and financial services to clients covering an extensive range of business situations.
Our clients come to us and more importantly stay with us because of the high quality of advice provided. We also place a high priority on service. Clients at Hobsons can expect their financial affairs to be overseen by a partner. We recognise that we are a service business and as such expect all members of our team to be personable and have good communication skills.
As part of our ongoing commitment to “service quality ” we have an annual independent review of our own procedures and work. We also ensure that our staff undertake continuous professional development to update their skills and knowledge.
Hobsons are proud to be one of the founder members of NIFA, (Network of Independent Forensic Accountants).
New Partner
As of 1 August Hobsons has acquired the Nottingham office of Leicestershire based accountants Newby Castleman. Partner Stuart Foster and his team will join us in the Nottingham office.
Stuart says "After spending twenty seven years of my working life at Newby Castleman, moving to Hobsons will be a huge change. The time was right for the move however, and I am looking forward to working with my new colleagues and friends at Hobsons. I have been aware of their excellent reputation in the city for many years, and feel that their business philosophy and strong commitment to clients will prove an excellent match to my own. It will allow me to carry on looking after my clients and staff from a secure Nottingham base."
Managing partner, Jim Scully, comments "We have known Stuart for many years and are delighted to welcome him on board. He will bring a wealth of experience to the practice along with high quality staff and clients. In the financial climate in which we all currently operate, it's good to have a positive story."
Promotion
We are delighted to announce the promotion of Katy Ward to Associate in the practice. Katy has acted as number two to Monica Szolin-Jones, in Newark, for a number of years and has gradually been taking on more responsibility. This promotion recognises the high regard with which Katy is held at Hobsons.
Retirement
After nearly two years as a partner with Hobsons, Malcolm Ellison has decided the time is right to take stock and reassess his work life balance. He will be stepping down as a partner and leaving the practice effective 31 July. A number of the staff who joined us with Malcolm remain and will continue to assist us in looking after his former clients. We wish Malcolm good wishes for whatever he intends to do in the future.
