AAB makes partner promotion

Aberdeen-based accountants Anderson Anderson & Brown has announced the promotion of Steve Mitchell to Partner.

Mr Mitchell, who heads up the firm’s Accounting Services, Outsourcing and Management Information Solutions Divisions, joined AAB seven years ago after gaining a wealth of experience in professional practice in the areas of accounting, audit and corporate finance.

He was promoted to Director in 2015 and one of his main areas of focus over the past few years has been the introduction of cloud-based software solutions for clients.

The appointment follows a period of substantial growth in AAB’s Outsourcing Division where the team has seen a significant increase in the number of clients with international businesses coming to the UK, from countries including Norway, USA, UAE, Italy, Mexico, Australia and Russia, as well as those setting up overseas.

Under Mr Mithcell’s leadership, AAB now has hundreds of clients working in partnership with them via cloud-based solutions which offer businesses the opportunity to gain real-time information on their key business metrics, from anywhere in the world, at any time.

AAB managing partner Graeme Allan, said: “Steve has made a significant contribution to the firm since he joined and has been instrumental in the development of our accounting and outsourcing divisions. His appointment is very well deserved and is key to the continuing prosperity of our firm as Steve will also now head up our management information solutions team following Mike Brown’s retirement.”

Mr Mitchell added “We see a number of excellent growth prospects across the accounting, outsourcing and management information solutions teams and I look forward to working with clients and contacts to pursue these opportunities in my new role.”
