Strong start to 2021 for award-winning business advisors

South Coast business and tax advisory firm, Inspire, has welcomed two new members of the team so far this year, further strengthening its advisory and client services teams.    

The new appointments to the team are Jon Huggins who joins as Advisory Manager, and Jacob Cardus who joins as Client Services Adviser.  Jon and Jacob will be part of the 30-strong team based at Inspire’s offices on Commercial Road in Poole. 

Jon re-joins the Inspire team, after three years living and working in Canada.  Having studied at Bournemouth and Poole College and worked locally in finance and accounting roles, Jon  originally began his career with Inspire in 2013. He qualified as a Chartered Certified Accountant in 2016 and specialised in corporate finance and advisory services with the firm, before leaving for Canada. 

Jacob began his accountancy career five years ago in Southampton where he completed his AAT qualifications as an Audit Trainee.  Having always lived in Dorset, Jacob decided to continue his studies and work closer to home; he began his qualifications as a Chartered Accountant locally and will now continue his studies, supported by the Inspire team.

Warren Munson, Founder at Inspire, said: “We’re delighted to be welcoming Jon and Jacob to the Inspire team.  They each bring a real passion and enthusiasm for their work and have settled in very quickly into their respective teams within the firm.  

“By bringing in new and talented individuals to the team, we’re able to offer an even greater level of service and Client Delight to our fast-growing portfolio of clients.   Jon’s corporate finance and advisory experience, in particular, will be a real asset to the team and our clients. 

“Although the majority of the Inspire team continues to work remotely, we look forward to being able to welcome Jon and Jacob properly, as soon as the current restrictions allow!” 

Jon commented: “It’s great to be back at Inspire, I feel very fortunate to have spent the last three years working in Canada, but having made the decision to the return to the UK, the opportunity to re-join the team was one I couldn’t resist!

“I’ve really enjoyed my first few weeks back in the team and am looking forward to getting back working with local business owners on their Inspire journey.”
