Albert Goodman bolsters tax team with director hire

Regional chartered accountancy firm Albert Goodman has welcomed Ruth Powell as a director to the firm to bolster its tax team.

Powell joins from a large national firm where she advised private clients on all aspects of
trusts and estates, including tax advisory, administration and compliance in her tax director
Role.

She will primarily be based in Bristol but will work across all the firms’ offices.

Powell said: “Joining a tax team at the start of the year is always going to be tricky given the tax return deadline at the end of January, but it has enabled me to roll up my sleeves and get stuck in helping the team where I can. I feel like I have got to know the team a lot quicker.

“Having had an extensive career at larger firms, it is great to now have the opportunity to
work with a smaller firm which offers most of the benefits of working at a larger firm, but with
the benefit of the human approach. A smaller firm gives me the opportunity to get to know
everyone across the business and build on those relationships. I am excited to assist in
enhancing the services which can be offered to new and existing clients.”

Iain McVicar, managing partner at Albert Goodman, added: “We continue to invest in our
tax team, which is testament to our clients demanding high level tax expertise.

“With Ruth now joining the team of over 30, we are looking forward to her strengthening and developing our private client proposition and dealing with Trusts and Estates matters which are becoming increasingly popular as more of our clients are seeking this type of in-house knowledge.”
