PKF Smith Cooper bolsters specialist tax team

PKF Smith Cooper has expanded its specialist tax team with eight new recruits, including one manager, two assistant managers and three consultants, with more to join over the coming months. 

The new additions have bolstered the company’s specialist tax provision across its Derby, Nottingham and Birmingham offices.

As well as expanding its tax team, PKF Smith Cooper has also been investing in the development of existing team members, with six promotions across the company last month including Charlotte Morgan’s promotion to corporate tax senior manager and Megan Whiley’s to tax manager.

The new team members are Robert McClelland (indirect tax manager), Tony Chamberlain (assistant indirect tax manager), Chris Cutting (assistant indirect tax manager), Janice Lo (private tax consultant), Jack Purkis (personal tax consultant), Vanessa Johnson (tax senior), Vasif Naseer (tax assistant) and Mohini Dhiresh (tax assistant).

Natasha Scott, tax advisory partner at PKF Smith Cooper, said: “Our team is our greatest asset and we look forward to working with our newest tax recruits and seeing the impact they will have on our firm. 

“PKF Smith Cooper was built on the hard work and commitment of our team, which is why investing in top talent remains one of our priorities. We need an ambitious team to deliver our ambitious plans for the future, and we continue to look for opportunities to recruit and develop people.”

Chris Cutting, assistant indirect tax manager, one of the latest additions to the team, added: “Moving to PKF Smith Cooper is already proving to be one of the best career moves I have made. There’s a firm-wide focus on providing outstanding customer service to clients and an obvious commitment to investing in the development and progression of team members, which creates a really positive and motivating work environment.”
