THE Liverpool Society of Chartered Accountants has a new President. Carol McLachlan, has been appointed President of the Society for 2018/19.
Carol McLachlan qualified with EY in London, moving back to her roots in Liverpool shortly afterwards. She takes the reins from Past President, Andrew Lloyd of RSM, who led the society during 2017/2018.
Carol will support the Society’s members from across Merseyside, Cheshire & North Wales and the Isle of Man, which forms part of ICAEW (Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales).
Her primary role will be to oversee the delivery of a range of services for members including a series of CPD courses, an annual dinner, a variety of technical and networking events and discussion groups as well as representing the interests of Chartered Accountants within the wider business community.
She will be supported in this role by Deputy President, Andrew Lovelady and Vice President, Robert Young and the committee.
Carol McLachlan, founder of theaccountantscoach.com and President of the Liverpool Society of Chartered Accountants, said: “It is with great pleasure, and more than a little excitement, that I take on the presidency of the Liverpool Society. In this era of fast paced, relentless change, our Society is about to enter its 150th year of operation. With its rich heritage and roots in the nineteenth century, I am truly proud of the legacy bestowed on me to take the reins at this pivotal point. Amid the challenges of the twenty first century, we strive to continue to thrive and flourish as we break new ground, deepening and extending our ties with ever more diverse local groups and organisations. I am honoured to take on this leadership role and look forward to supporting our members and the wider community in the coming year.”
