Mr Jones brings more than 20 years of experience in the finance sector. 

Having built his career with accountancy firms in North Wales and Edinburgh, he went on to spend the past 14 years with Hall Morrice in the Granite City.

SBP Managing Partner John Hannah said: “We’re delighted to welcome Rhys to the team, his track record and commitment to developing people is a real fit for our culture. Building strong client relationships and leading with integrity makes Rhys an excellent addition.”

Mr Jones, who has been appointed Senior Manager, said: “Having followed SBP’s journey for some time, and through my conversations with John, I was drawn to the firm’s commitment to its people and its ambitious vision for the future. 

“As an independently owned accountancy firm, SBP demonstrates a genuine investment in developing its team and recognising their achievements along the way. I felt my experience of growing and developing high performing teams was a natural fit, and I’m looking forward to bringing that expertise to SBP and contributing to its continued success.”

Founded in 1975, SBP has over 50 years of experience serving businesses in the north-east of Scotland with offices in Aberdeen, Fraserburgh, Peterhead and Banff.
