In 2021, she attained Fellowship status with the Association of Taxation Technicians, reinforcing her authority in the sector.
In her new role, Godley will oversee the tax compliance division at Prime Accountants Group, which has branches in Solihull, Birmingham, and Coventry.
She will also remain involved in the firm’s tax advisory services, utilising her comprehensive expertise and experience.
Godley said: “At the start there was a lot of general admin tasks – and making tea for the partners! In the years following that, I dabbled in several departments before becoming secretary in the tax department, and it was there I found my love of tax.
“The business supported me with everything I wanted to do – I was mentored, went on lots of courses and eventually qualified after receiving expert Association of Taxation Technicians (ATT) training.
“Prime has supported me at every stage of the process and with everything I wanted to learn. If you’re willing to learn, it’s a hugely supportive business – I’ve never wanted to go anywhere else. Prime has always been there for me.”
