Ben oversees the audit and assurance department alongside Ryan Moore and acts for a wide-ranging portfolio of the firm’s clients, predominantly spanning corporate entities, academy schools and charities.
He takes a keen interest and role in the firm’s adoption of emerging technologies to improve client service and internal efficiencies and works closely with colleagues to encourage and implement positive change.
Outside of work, he enjoys travelling with his family and is an avid Ipswich Town fan, with the latter unlikely to yield an overseas away day any time soon!
Randall & Payne LLP has provided audit and accountancy services to us for more than 12 years, and I would not hesitate in recommending the firm to others. The partners and staff are professionals to their fingertips, and the advice and support we have received has been first class. They have an interest in, and a commitment to, our organisation that is genuine and we see them, really, as a part of our team.
