Chartered accounting and business advisory firm, Saffery, has promoted Dan Noble to audit manager and appointed Kim Liu as audit manager within the firm’s specialist not-for-profit and charity audit team, in Leeds.
Dan joined Saffery in 2020 and was drawn to the firm because of its not-for-profit and charity offering. Since joining, he has completed his Associate Chartered Accountant (ACA) qualification whilst building strong relationships with a broad portfolio of regional and national clients.
Dan regularly attends clients’ committee meetings and organises year-round touchpoints to aid year-end planning, alongside taking an active role in the day to day running of the audit.
Dan said: “I’ve had brilliant support from the team at Saffery throughout my career to date. The progression pathways are clear, the training opportunities are fantastic, and people here genuinely want to see you succeed. I enjoy the variety of the client work, and the opportunity to make a real difference to charities and not-for-profit organisations.”
Joining Dan in the team is Kim Liu, who brings over 16 years of experience specialising in not-for-profit and charity audits, having previously worked at HW Fisher and Field Sullivan.
Kim recently relocated from London to Yorkshire, and she will contribute her extensive knowledge and client-focused approach to a range of organisations including schools, academies, community foundations, and other charities, often within the arts sector.
Kim said: “Saffery is a very well-known name in the not-for-profit and charity sectors, with a person centric approach and commitment to long-term planning and accountability. Moving from London to a small market town in North Yorkshire is a big change, but the fact that Saffery is based in the heart of Leeds, means I can still enjoy city life!”
Head of Saffery in Leeds, Sally Appleton, said: “Dan is passionate about supporting not-for-profit organisations and charities and his deep sector expertise is a real asset to our Yorkshire office and our wider national team.
“Kim is known for her personable style, and she will work closely with our clients and colleagues across Saffery’s offices to deliver practical, tailored advice. Their appointments reflect our continued investment in talent to support the evolving needs of our clients in this important sector.”
