PKF Smith Cooper continues to expand the tax team with a new Personal Tax Manager joining our Derby office, following the firm-wide rebrand aligning the firm with the PKF Global network.
Chartered Tax Advisor James Barry joins the firm with over seven years’ experience in personal tax at a top 10 UK firm and he has also spent two years at one of the top R&D consultancy firms in the UK.
With experience in dealing with high value capital disposals and remuneration planning, James is highly knowledgeable on income tax and capital gains tax issues, including unincorporated businesses, specifically partnerships, sole trades and rental properties.
On joining PKF Smith Cooper, James said: “I’m looking forward to joining the team and contributing to its success and continued growth. I look forward to bringing my knowledge and contributing to the great culture at the firm.”
Dean Castledine, Private Client Director at PKF Smith Cooper, commented: “James is a great addition to the tax department and wider firm. His expertise in personal tax will be an asset to both our team and clients.”
We recently rebranded to align its visual brand more closely to PKF Global, an international accounting network of more than 200 member firms, which we joined back in 2021. We continue to build our team firm-wide, through recruitment and internal progression, with 12 new hires in the tax department alone this year.
