DSG Strengthens Audit Team with New Partner Appointment & Internal Promotions

DSG is delighted to welcome Kate Taylor as our new Audit Partner and promote two existing team members – David Pennant-Williams and Joanna Caley.

Kate has joined from financial advisor firm, Sedulo. She brings more than two decades of experience to DSG. She has worked side by side with business owners across statutory audits, financial accounts, business and personal tax solutions, and strategic advisory.

She was the Liverpool managing partner at Sedulo and national head of compliance. Prior to Sedulo, Kate spent 18 years at Haines Watts where she was a director and audit partner, working with owner-managed businesses across a variety of sectors.

“Having dedicated much of my career to advising owner-managed businesses in Liverpool, joining DSG is a fitting and exciting next step. I’m looking forward to working with Laura Leslie, Mark Kearsley and the wider team to continue growing our market-leading offering and support our clients in achieving greater financial certainty.”

We are also thrilled to announce the promotion of David Pennant-Williams to audit director. David, who has been with the firm since 2008 and has a wealth of experience, will be heading up the audit department, working closely alongside the partners.

Joanna Caley, who joined DSG an audit graduate in 2021 and is now chair of the Liverpool Chartered Accountants Student Association and a board member of ICAEW Liverpool, has also been promoted to audit manager.

DSG partner, Laura Leslie added: 

“As we continue to expand our audit and advisory capabilities, we are thrilled to welcome Kate to the team. At a time of new challenges and uncertainty for businesses in all sectors, providing financial stability remains a key priority that we are passionate about delivering.
