Saffery announced the promotion of Harry Kendall to partner, effective from 1st April 2026.
Having joined the firm as a London trainee in 2016, Harry has been Edinburgh-based for the past five years. An audit-specialist, he advises a broad range of clients across corporate, landed estates and the not‑for‑profits sectors. He works closely with boards and senior management teams, providing support on governance and financial reporting.
Sean McGinness, Partner and Head of Saffery’s Edinburgh office, said: “Harry’s mix of sector experience fits very well with our client base. It reflects the direction of travel for our business as we continue to focus on our strong private wealth client base and build on recent success in the corporate market. He is a trusted adviser to boards and management teams alike, and a highly respected member of the team. His appointment strengthens our partner group in Edinburgh and underlines the depth of talent across our 80‑strong team.”
Harry added: “We’ve built a collaborative, high-performing team with deep sector expertise here in Edinburgh, and I’m proud to be part of an office that combines national strength with strong local relationships. I look forward to continuing to support our clients as they navigate increasingly complex audit and governance requirements.”
Harry’s promotion follows the appointment of 15 new team members in Edinburgh in 2025 and demonstrates Saffery’s continued commitment to investing strategically in talent locally and across the UK.
Saffery has been part of Scotland’s professional landscape for more than 40 years, with offices in Edinburgh and Inverness, and a national network across the UK and Ireland.
