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 Senior Ollie Stephens, Audit Semi Senior Owen Smith 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.
