RMT Accountants & Business Advisors is continuing to grow its specialist healthcare division with the appointment of Shannon Mellish to a healthcare accounts senior role.
Shannon brings almost a decade’s industry experience to her new position with Gosforth-based RMT Healthcare, which is one of the UK’s leading specialist medical and healthcare accountancy practices.
Originally from Yorkshire, Shannon studied for a degree in mathematics at York University before moving to the North East nine years ago to join a regional accountancy firm.
She is now working across all aspects of the personal and commercial finances of a range of healthcare businesses and practitioners right across the UK.
RMT Healthcare already has the largest dedicated specialist team outside London and acts for well over 1,000 medical professionals, both within and outside the North East.
It has seen significant growth over the last few years as it has helped an increasing number of practices and healthcare professionals restructure their finances.
Shannon Mellish says: “Healthcare is a sector that’s always interested me and I felt that the accountancy experience I’d gained through my career so far would be very relevant to the role.
“I’d heard good things about RMT during my time in the North East and really liked the people that I met when I came for interview.
“There’s a lot of specialist knowledge to pick up, but I’m working with a very supportive and experienced team and enjoying getting to meet and work with my new clients.”
Maxine Pott, director at RMT Healthcare, adds: “Shannon’s expertise and enthusiasm make her a valuable addition to our growing team and will help us meet the increasing demand for our services that we’re seeing from new and existing healthcare clients.“
RMT Accountants is part of the Sumer Group, the UK’s leading SME-focused accountancy practice, and provides the full range of financial and business advisory services through its specialist tax, medical and healthcare, corporate finance and recovery and insolvency teams.
