AMBITIOUS plans have been revealed to create 250 jobs at the Scottish arm of an international accounting firm over the next five years, lifting its current headcount by 50 per cent.
Azets, which incorporates the former Scottish accountancy firms Campbell Dallas and Scott Moncrieff, unveiled the target as it declared its aim to increase turnover from its Scottish operation to more than £60 million by 2026. The division currently turns over around £40m.
While those expansion hopes are “heavily-weighted towards organic growth”, the firm opened the door to “bolt-on” acquisitions, including in parts of Scotland where it is presently under-represented.
The targets were disclosed as Azets, which currently employs around 500 staff and partners in Scotland, announced a “multi-million-pound” investment in a new digitised, hybrid working model.
