Accountancy firm Johnston Carmichael has expanded its senior team with three new promotions.
Irina Cheburdanidze, who is based in the firm’s Edinburgh office, Ryan Crilley, based in Glasgow, and Ruth Canham, in Elgin, are each elevated to director, as part of a round of 88 promotions.
Cheburdanidze joined Johnston Carmichael in 2021 and has more than 17 years’ experience in financial reporting. She has an in-depth knowledge of International Financial Reporting Standards, introduced to standardise accounts across borders, and the UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice standards.
Crilley, an audit specialist, joined Johnston Carmichael in March 2022, following two years as finance manager at an insurance brokerage, risk management and consulting firm. Prior to this, he spent seven years at a Big Four professional services firm.
Canham has been at Johnston Carmichael since July 2017, following almost six years at a Big Four firm. She was promoted to business advisory senior manager in 2019 and has since then managed teams in both Inverness and Elgin.
Andrew Walker, chief executive at Johnston Carmichael, said: “I’d like to welcome Irina, Ryan and Ruth to our leadership team.
“Their promotions are thoroughly deserved; each has made a significant contribution to the firm, and they demonstrate our core values on a daily basis.
“Our new directors are key to evolving our business amid a changing regulatory landscape and ongoing adoption of technology - growing our own leaders will ensure we maintain the highest possible levels of client service, while driving the business forward into the future.”
Johnston Carmichael has 14 offices across the UK and is a member of international accounting, audit and business advisory network Moore Global.
