Philip George

Partner - Chartered Accountant

I joined the firm as a trainee Chartered Accountant in 2008 after obtaining a first class degree in accountancy and finance at The University of Hull.

I then qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 2011 and was appointed partner in 2017.

My client portfolio covers a broad range of business structures, predominantly small and large owner managed businesses across a variety of sectors. I also specialise in the production of management accounts and gain satisfaction from helping guide and support businesses in achieving their future goals. I would describe myself as ‘not your typical accountant’, providing a down to earth approach when dealing with the technical issues facing individuals and businesses alike.

My specialisms include working for and alongside solicitors whether this be audit testing in accordance with the Solicitor Accounts Rules or providing solicitors with Single Joint Expert reports to assist with court proceedings.

During my studies, I was heavily involved with the ICAEW’s regional society; fulfilling roles such as treasurer, vice chairman and chairman. In 2015, I was awarded young Chartered Accountant of the year in the region.

In 2018 I was named in the Accountancy Age 35 under 35 listing, celebrating young talent in the accountancy industry.

I currently sit on the board of The Friends of St James’ Church as Treasurer.

Interests

Outside of work, I am a keen golfer, and enjoy a variety of sports.

If you weren’t an accountant, what would you be?

I have always liked creative subjects so I would have been interested in being an architect.
