The firm has promoted over 2,400 of its people across the UK, including 36 new partners. The promotions came into effect on 1 November.

Martin Gill, head of BDO in Scotland, said: “This latest round of promotions reinforces our unwavering commitment to investing in our people, and their expertise and dedication are critical to our long-term success in Scotland.

“Their achievements not only reflect exceptional individual efforts, but also demonstrate the strength of our Scottish team overall.

“Congratulations to all 70 of our new promotees, who have each shown talent and hard work and richly deserve this recognition.”

The promotions follow the arrival of 35 new trainees to BDO’s Glasgow and Edinburgh offices. The trainees, who joined the firm’s 8,000-strong workforce across its audit, tax and advisory practices, are a combination of school leaver apprentices, university graduates and students undertaking a 12-month industrial placement.
