GS Verde Group appoints new tax director

GS Verde Group has appointed Emma Jones as its new tax director. Jones’ appointment follows a period of significant growth for GS Verde Group, marked by its recent admission to the JP Jenkins share-dealing platform and the appointment of a new non-executive director in January 2024. According to the group, her “expertise will be instrumental in steering the group's tax team under the leadership of Joel Dunning, head of GS Verde Tax and Accountants”. Jones brings 22 years of experience as a corporate tax adviser. Before joining GS Verde Group, she began her career in accountancy before specialising in tax as part of Azets where she held a senior position as tax associate director covering personal and corporate compliance, as well as advisory in employee share schemes, EIS, tax clearance, and tax planning. Jones said: "I am excited to join GS Verde Group at this pivotal time of growth. The company's innovative, multidiscipline approach to deal-making perfectly aligns with my own values, and I look forward to lending my experience to the Group, identifying efficiency opportunities, and developing the team to deliver exceptional tax solutions to our clients." Joel Dunning, head of GS Verde Tax and Accountants, added: "We are thrilled to welcome Emma to GS Verde Group. Her proven track record and specialist knowledge of the tax landscape will be invaluable as we continue to expand our tax offering and support our clients through complex transactions. Emma will be leading our specialist tax team as we continue to develop and expand it in the coming months."
