“I TAKE PRIDE IN BEING A TRUSTED ADVISOR THAT MY CLIENTS CAN RELY ON”

Cameron Thompson is a Business Advisory Assistant Manager based in our Leeds office. He works with a diverse portfolio of clients, delivering strategic advice and ensuring compliance with statutory deadlines. By providing timely insights and hands-on support, Cameron helps clients make informed decisions and achieve their growth ambitions. In addition to his client responsibilities, he plays a key role in mentoring and training junior team members.

Cameron is also actively involved with the ESG team and the Social Committee, contributing to initiatives that drive positive change and foster a collaborative work environment.

Building Genuine Relationships

“For me, the foundation of a successful client relationship is trust. Clients should feel confident that I am their first point of contact for any business-related queries. At the same time, trust is a two-way street— I value when clients can engage openly, involve us early in key decisions, and maintain clear communication throughout our working relationship. This collaborative approach ensures that we can deliver the best possible advice and support, tailored to their unique needs.

“I genuinely enjoy learning about my clients’ businesses and hearing their stories. Understanding their ambitions allows me to provide bespoke guidance that aligns with their goals. It’s incredibly rewarding to know that my advice plays a part in helping their businesses thrive.

I would say that one of my greatest strengths is my ability to build trust quickly. I prioritise active listening and open communication, which helps me understand my clients’ unique challenges and aspirations. This approachable, proactive style allows me to connect with people at all levels, fostering strong partnerships.”

A culture of collaboration

“Our Business Advisory Group is filled with talented and experienced professionals, and I am constantly learning from them. At the same time, I take pride in sharing my knowledge with junior team members, helping them develop their skills and grow in their roles. This culture of collaboration and continuous learning makes AAB a fantastic place to work.

While our work can be demanding, maintaining a positive attitude helps us tackle challenges head-on and promotes a collaborative environment. I bring this same level of energy and enthusiasm to every client interaction, ensuring that we stay engaged and focused on delivering the best outcomes. This approach not only enhances team morale but also contributes to stronger, more productive client relationships.”

Striking the Right Balance

“AAB fully embraces the efficiencies that technology provides, and this is something I try to embrace in my role and day-to-day. Digital tools allow us to deliver fast, accurate insights and streamline processes, which enhances the client experience. While technology adds value to operations and the client experience, I believe there is no substitute for in-person connection.

That’s why I always aim to strike a balance between virtual and hands-on collaboration when working with my clients. While technology is invaluable for day-to-day efficiency, in-person meetings and personal engagement help build trust and understanding of the complex client needs which are crucial when dealing with someone’s business and its future. The hybrid approach I take ensures that my clients receive comprehensive, efficient, and highly personalised support.”

An exciting future ahead

“I am excited to continue building lasting relationships with clients, understanding their evolving needs, and helping them work through new challenges. Every business is unique, and I find great satisfaction in tailoring my advice to help clients achieve their specific objectives.

AAB’s ability to provide comprehensive, integrated services sets us apart. We can support businesses through every stage of their journey—from start-up and growth to succession planning and beyond. As we continue to innovate and expand our offerings, the opportunities for both our clients and our team are incredibly exciting.”
