Alex Hird

What is your role at BHP/Translink?
I joined in 2023 to create the Financial Reporting Advisory & Valuations team. We look after the complex end of our client base, predominantly large PE groups and small to mid-cap listed companies, with a focus on accounting for the unusual.

What are you most passionate about?
I love being part of a client's team - working alongside high-calibre CFOs to deliver a project or annual audit process and copilot on complex accounting areas.

What keeps you motivated?
There is always another project to get stuck into, and supporting multiple complex businesses to complete their audits means that I am always kept on my toes.

What advice would you give trainees starting out?
Take every opportunity to see and learn different things, and don't be afraid to ask questions and challenge those above you.

What is your favourite thing to do at the weekend?
Something outdoors with the family.
