Bishop Fleming bolsters Birmingham team with senior hires

Audit, accountancy, tax and advisory firm Bishop Fleming has further strengthened its Birmingham team with two senior appointments.

The company has appointed Jack Edmonds as partner and Julie Mole as director in its Accountancy team.

The Birmingham office now comprises nine partners – with that number set to rise to 10 in the autumn.

Jack and Julie are joining the firm after working closely together as a team in their previous roles at Crowe UK.

Their combined experience and expertise span business advisory, compliance, funding support and strategic growth advice.

Jack worked at Crowe for nearly 15 years, advising owner-managed businesses and SMEs.

His background combines compliance and accounts work with a broader advisory role, supporting clients with growth strategy, profit optimisation, leadership challenges and hands-on business decision-making.

Julie spent eight years at Crowe, helping businesses secure a variety of funding solutions. 

Prior to that, she worked in NatWest corporate and commercial banking for over 20 years. 

In her new role at Bishop Fleming, she will continue to work closely with Jack to support clients with funding readiness, banking relationships and debt advisory-related support.

Jack said: “Bishop Fleming has a strong reputation for client service and for how it supports its people.

“The values, commitment and enthusiasm of everyone involved aligns perfectly with my own.

“The Birmingham office’s ambition and the wider firm’s growth plans made this an exciting and compelling opportunity.”

Julie added: “I’m thrilled to join a firm whose values, ambition and collaborative culture align closely with how I want to work with clients.

“I’m particularly looking forward to the opportunity to build a unique proposition which provides a genuinely holistic approach, bringing together business advisory, funding insight and relationship-led support to help clients move forward with confidence.”

Mark Taylor, Birmingham office lead and partner at Bishop Fleming, said: “Both Jack and Julie are fantastic additions to our Birmingham team.

“They bring deep experience, strong market relationships, and a highly collaborative way of working that will be of huge benefit to our clients.

“Their appointment reflects our continued investment in Birmingham and our ambition to build a market-leading accountancy offering for ambitious businesses across the Midlands.”
