James is a Team Leader within the Audit Department, supporting its management and ongoing development. Since joining the firm in 2021, he quickly advanced his technical knowledge in statutory audits and corporate accounting, becoming an ACCA Qualified Accountant in 2024.
Prior to Rennie Welch, James began his career in the finance department of a local housing association, where he completed his AAT qualifications. Whilst his early experience was in industry, James has always wanted to progress his career in practice.
Although James primarily focuses on statutory audits of privately owned companies, charities and societies, he also provides training and technical support for the team. Continuing with his own development, James is progressing with his Chartered Tax Advisor exams to strengthen his taxation knowledge to provide a comprehensive service to both clients and colleagues.
Outside of the firm James is a motivated and sociable individual, in his spare time he helps to coach in a local gym… otherwise he can be found exploring the outdoors by foot, on the golf course or by mountain bike, all whilst enjoying the best of the Scottish weather.
