Meet the team behind Griffiths Marshall.
We’re delighted to introduce you to the people who ‘make things happen’ at Griffiths Marshall. We work with our colleagues throughout the practice to make sure you get the best possible service and the right advice when you need it.
Greg Lewis heads up our audit team, having specialised in audit whilst qualifying to become a Chartered Accountant. Greg is supported by Audit Manager Nicola Hale, Audit Semi Senior Pippa Stokes and trainees Taylor Blaby and Jess Caudle, who all provide an efficient audit service to Griffiths Marshall’s clients. We conduct different types of audit depending on the requirements of the organisation including statutory audits for large organisations, SRA audits and independent examinations for charities and industrial or friendly provident societies. Our team are highly experienced in working with academies, construction and aggregate companies and for businesses who are UK subsidiaries of European companies. When auditing we aim to identify weaknesses in systems and controls and provide recommendations on how to improve these. We can also help organisations reduce the risk of fraud taking place.

Our accounts team provide practical accounts support to clients from a variety of sectors including agriculture, retail, manufacturing and consultancy, to name but a few. From sole traders to multi-million pound limited companies, our accounts teams have the skills and expertise to handle your accounts and tax compliance matters. They believe in building long term associations with you, based on offering a bespoke service and developing a relationship of mutual trust. Our team of qualified accountants consists of Associate Director Paul Cox, and Client Relationship Managers Lynne Beaven, Mark Sawyer, Elliott Hopson, Alyssa Adams, Deepa Narendra and Charlie Bonell alongside Accounts Assistant Gavin Sterry. In September 2023 we welcomed three new apprentices to Griffiths Marshall – Toby Vaughan, Zach Marfell and Alfie Hornchurch. They are now studying for their AAT Level 3 qualification, and assist the team with tasks to help build and consolidate their accounting knowledge.

At Griffiths Marshall we are fortunate that the majority of our accountancy staff get involved with our clients’ tax work. This means you are dealing with someone who can take a holistic approach to your business, advising on tax as well as accounts and possibly audit matters as well. Our key tax advisor is Mark Sawyer, a Chartered Accountant with over 30 years’ experience of calculating and submitting tax returns for individuals and businesses alike. Mark provides tax support and advice to clients across the firm. He also specialises in complex tax and accounts cases, working with the rest of the team at Griffiths Marshall and supported by our Tax Trainee Tino Furidze, to provide the best possible tax advice for you.
