The firm, which is focused on finance and accountancy and has offices in Edinburgh and Glasgow, has signed up Laura Montgomery, a specialist in financial leadership appointments. She will be responsible for iMultiply’s increased focus on senior finance and board-level appointments.

MD Kris Flanagan said: “A dedicated executive services practice was always a key strategic goal for iMultiply in 2020 – and despite the impact of Covid-19 upon the sector and the economy, we are always striving to evolve and grow. Laura’s addition to our team equals an exciting future for iMultiply.”

Montgomery said: “The chief finance boss/financial leadership talent in Scotland is of a high calibre and … iMultiply is an innovative and forward thinking business.” iMultiply increased turnover last year by about 40 per cent compared to the previous 12 months, whilst continuing to expand the team.

The firm says that whenever someone gets a job through iMultiply, a young person is helped to upskill and progress their own future, though a charity partnership with Project Scotland.

The firm was founded in 2012 by chief executive Kirsty MacKenzie, who spent the early part of her career in the recruitment industry, working for an international FTSE 250 company. iMultiply has worked with the likes of Innis & Gunn, Visit Scotland, Money Dashboard and Edinburgh Airport.
