The move comes due to a growing demand for bespoke resource support from accountants who can assist on short or long-term projects.
Hutcheon Mearns’ team of finance specialists provide people and business advisory services – from business strategy advice to finance resource solutions – on a permanent or interim basis.
Headquartered in Aberdeen, the firm helps businesses build finance teams that deliver growth through focused strategy and initiatives.

Pamela is a certified chartered accountant with more than 15 years of experience in the industry.

She is delighted with her new role as a senior specialist at the company: “I’m really pleased to have become a part of the Hutcheon Mearns team,” she said.
“I knew that the company had an excellent reputation having worked as an accountant for many companies.
“I work part-time and when I was looking elsewhere in the market, I felt like I needed to take a step down to find a part-time role.
“I don’t feel like I’ve had to make that compromise here.
“I’ve been off for the kids’ holidays in summer and have been working term time and school hours at the moment which is perfect for me, but I’ve also got the option to do more if I want to.
“It’s varied, satisfying work in a senior role.”
Andrew has worked for various listed and private sector clients, including Total, BrewDog and DNO.
