We’re pleased to announce the appointment of two new partners in our audit team: Nick Bishop and Geeta Morgan. Both are experts in working with FCA authorised entities and other financial services businesses: one of BKL’s specialist sectors.
About Nick
Nick Bishop has been at BKL since 2013, when he joined as an audit and accounts senior. During his career at the firm, he has developed specialisms in financial services businesses, including fintech companies, and the auditing of large and complex groups.
Nick’s appointment is testament to BKL’s commitment that everyone at BKL who has the ability, aspiration and engagement will be given support to reach management and ultimately partner level.
About Geeta
Geeta Morgan comes to BKL with over 15 years of experience in senior audit roles at leading accountancy firms. Her career has included BDO, Grant Thornton and most recently Mazars.
Geeta’s specialist experience of auditing financial services entities includes private equity, real estate funds, banks and asset managers. She is also a Chartered Tax Adviser, a member of the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investment and a member of the International Compliance Association.
With Geeta and Nick’s appointments, BKL now has 22 partners: the highest number we’ve had to date. In growing the firm at leadership level, we are continuing to build a sustainable, inclusive business that provides high-quality, personalised service to a growing number of businesses, especially in the complex specialist area of financial services audits.
Nick said:
“I’ve always felt at home at BKL, among great colleagues and ambitious clients. After a decade building my career here, I’m proud to be joining the partnership team.
“I’m looking forward to helping to support our people, guide our clients and lead the business through the opportunities ahead. I know that my next 10 years with BKL will be even better than the first 10.”
Geeta said:
“I’ve been impressed by BKL’s reputation as experts in the financial services sector, and as a forward-thinking firm where people enjoy supporting clients’ growth. As a specialist in advising financial services businesses, it’s the ideal place for me to join.
“I’m looking forward to getting to know my new colleagues and clients.”
Jon Wedge, BKL’s Head of Financial Services Sector, said:
“Financial services is a thriving sector at BKL, and audit is a key service, so it’s very exciting to welcome not one but two partners with expertise in both these areas.
“As a homegrown partner myself – I joined BKL as a trainee – I’m delighted to see Nick achieving his potential and reaching partner level. I’m equally happy to be welcoming Geeta to the leadership team: I know that her experience, insights and enthusiasm will make a big difference to our clients, the leadership team and the whole firm.”
