Chris Humphreys and Faith Bates both specialise in auditing. Between them they bring decades of audit experience to companies across Staffordshire.
Philip Barnes & Co provides statutory audit services for companies that require them. The work is led by partners, not delegated away.
Chris Humphreys began his career in auditing at a top-twenty accountancy firm, where he worked across auditing, acquisitions and corporate finance before joining Philip Barnes & Co. in 1987. He became a partner in 1990. His commercial knowledge means he can discuss all aspects of a client's business — not just the numbers on the page.
Faith Bates started at Philip Barnes & Co. as an 18-year-old trainee accountant and has worked with local businesses and organisations of all sizes and in almost every sector. Her specialities include audits and tax planning. She manages a 12-strong team with over 150 clients and organises events and seminars open to everyone.
