Paul Cox is promoted to partner within the Corporate Tax team with almost 20 years of experience in the accountancy profession, including more than a decade of Big Four experience. He advances to partner from his previous role as a director at Crowe, having worked at the firm for six years.
Paul has a wide corporate tax background and specialises in helping clients to meet their tax compliance requirements, maximising tax reliefs, and carrying out bespoke tax efficient planning such as structuring for acquisitions and disposals. Paul enters the role with a history of advising inbound, owner managed and private equity backed businesses, as well as large corporates, providing tax advice and wider professional support on a full range of business issues. He has also spent time in industry and as part of M&A focused teams, giving him a wider understanding of the demands on finance teams beyond the key tax issues.
With 23 years of experience, including three years spent working as a VAT inspector at HMRC, Kieran Smith steps up to partner within the VAT and Customs Duty team, with a particular focus on consulting in the not-for-profit sector.
Kieran works very closely with several non-profit organisations, including educational charities involving schools and academies, and in the care sector, helping clients to improve VAT efficiency and chart economic uncertainty.
