At DTE, he will be responsible for enhancing the firm’s brand profile as well as expanding its offerings to more of DTE’s core clientele in Manchester, Bury and the North West.
Remarking on his appointment, Armstrong said, “To join a practice and work with likeminded people who share the same vision and goals as myself is very refreshing. The organisation is in great shape and I am looking forward to introducing my skill set to assist with the growth, long term strategy and continued success of the business”.
An experienced Partner with over 20 years in practice, Armstrong specialises in advising the SME market in planning, business advisory, corporate and personal tax planning and business strategy. Having spent most of his professional career working closely with business owners, he also boasts an excellent understanding of not only day-to-day business operation, but also the worries and aspirations of business owners.
