ACCOUNTANCY practice CCF Accountancy has doubled its staff in just six months, and appointed a new senior accountant.

The Harrogate-based firm has appointed Jackie Dowker from another local practice and owner Teresa Bowe said she has further expansion plans later in 2012.

She said: “CCF is going through an intensive period of growth at the moment. We have doubled our turnover in the past year and taken on a lot of new clients, so it’s vital we have someone of her calibre on board. If business continues to expand as planned we expect to be making further appointments later on in the year.”
