Leading Midlands accountancy firm strengthens its tax team in ongoing search for new talent

Multi-award winning accountancy and advisory firm PKF Smith Cooper has expanded its specialist tax team with eight recent 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 at its Derby, Nottingham and Birmingham offices.

In addition to hiring new talent, PKF Smith Cooper has 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.

Natasha Scott, Tax Advisory Partner at PKF Smith Cooper, commented: “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.

“Whether you’re an experienced specialist in your field or an apprentice or graduate looking to start your career, we have a variety of career opportunities across our service lines.”

Chris Cutting, Assistant Indirect Tax Manager, is one of the latest additions to the team. He said: “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.”
