Adam Zaman (Senior Manager) and Matt Doherty (Manager) have joined the corporate tax team at PKF Smith Cooper, the home of PKF in the Midlands, as our firm pushes ahead with plans to double in size within the next five years.

After earning a first-class degree in Accounting and Finance, Adam Zaman started his professional career at a regional firm in South Yorkshire, which gave him a comprehensive understanding of the tax needs of SMEs. After eight years, he moved onto a top 10 accountancy practice. Adam’s sector expertise spans a variety of sectors, including health and social care, professional services, manufacturing and engineering, and transport and logistics. 

Matt Doherty’s career began at a ‘Big 4’ accountancy firm. He has over a decade of experience and will be based in our Nottingham office. Matt has worked with both large companies and SMEs in a range of industries, and has developed experience in the manufacturing and engineering, real estate, sports, and transport and logistics industries. 

The new senior recruits join PKF Smith Cooper just three months after a capital allowances director and employment tax director were hired. We will also be welcoming a new Tax Senior during the next two weeks and recruitment is ongoing for an employment tax manager/senior manager and a personal tax manager. With our firm’s popular graduate scheme also set to open in September, the PKF Smith Cooper tax division is undergoing a period of significant growth. 

Adam Zaman said: “I am delighted to be joining PKF Smith Cooper as a Corporate Tax Senior Manager. I have been warmly welcomed by the team, which is a testament to the great individuals at the firm. I am excited to enhance the already fantastic corporation tax offering at PKF Smith Cooper and look forward to helping our clients with the complexities of the tax world.” 

Matt Doherty commented: “I am thrilled to be joining PKF Smith Cooper as a Corporate Tax Manager. The team have been very welcoming and I look forward to working closely with our clients to meet their corporate tax compliance obligations, navigate complex tax legislation, understand and mitigate tax risks, take advantage of tax opportunities and incentives and, more broadly, achieve their commercial objectives.” 

Natasha Scott, Corporate Tax Partner at PKF Smith Cooper, commented: “It is a pleasure to welcome both Adam and Matt to our Corporate Tax Team. Their combined experience and passion for the field will be instrumental in driving our continued growth and delivering exceptional value to our clients. I look forward to seeing the positive impact they will have on our team and clients.”
