Ms Sinclair joins EQ today having previously worked at Azets, formerly Campbell Dallas for almost 15 years. Based in Perth, she qualified with ACCA in 2006, gaining her FCCA in 2011 and latterly was a Director of Audit & Assurance Services, having specialised in audit for over 10 years.

She will bring her extensive experience to EQ, where she will take a leading role in delivering the firm’s audit services to clients across all offices.

Ms Sinclair said: “I am delighted to be joining such a progressive, growing firm with a great reputation, both for their client service and for investing in the development of their staff. EQ are of the size and structure that will allow me to focus on delivering valued services to their diverse client portfolio, providing an opportunity to make a real difference. I am looking forward to getting to know the team and working with a variety of quality clients.”

Douglas Rae, partner and head of EQ audit services, added: “We look forward to welcoming Carol- Ann to our team. She will be a great asset to not only our Dundee office, but to the whole firm with her vast knowledge and experience. Our audit approach has and will always be to deliver significant value to our clients, not simply achieving compliance.

“With Carol-Ann joining us, we will increase our capacity to deliver our valued audit services and continue to use the audit platform to provide real business advice.”
