South East Wales’ largest independent accountancy firm, Kilsby Williams, has been appointed to audit national retail chain Poundstretcher, as well as advise on tax matters.
Established in 1981, Poundstretcher is a well-known high-street brand with over 370 stores across the United Kingdom, including 26 in Wales. In its fortieth year, the discount store chain has plans to further extend its presence across the country.
