Hello
My name is Adam Zaman and I joined PKF Smith Cooper in July 2024 as a Corporate Tax Senior Manager. My job consists of managing the corporation tax compliance process, which includes preparing the tax computation and tax accounting disclosures for the purposes of the statutory accounts.
What can I do for your organisation?
I manage the corporation tax compliance process, working closely together with the audit and business services team to provide tax disclosures for inclusion within the statutory accounts. Once the tax disclosures have been finalised, we will subsequently finalise the tax computations ready for submission to HMRC.
I ensure our clients receive an efficient, high-quality service by maximising the tax savings available. This is enhanced by liaising with specialist teams across PKF Smith Cooper, where appropriate.
I have a wide range of experience working with owner-managed businesses among various sectors.
Experience counts
I began my career at a regional firm in South Yorkshire and stayed at the firm for almost eight years.
During this time, I completed my tax qualifications for the Association of Tax Technicians (ATT) and the Chartered Institute of Taxation and obtained the coveted Chartered Tax Advisor (CTA) qualification.
Within my first two years, I had exposure to various departments (audit and business services, corporation tax, personal tax and trusts/estates) which provided me with great insight into the interactions between departments. After this two-year rotation, I specialised in corporation tax and also managed the personal tax affairs of my clients.
Before joining PKF Smith Cooper, I spent a year at a top 10 accountancy practice before moving to a local practice in Sheffield where I spent just over two years leading and transforming the corporation tax compliance department.
Deeper knowledge
I obtained a first-class degree in Accounting and Finance prior to obtaining my professional tax qualifications, which provided me with a good understanding of how companies operate.
I have worked with a broad range of clients from small to large companies and in different sectors. I enjoy understanding how each business operates to ensure advice is relevant, practical and tailored to each business.
Personally speaking
Outside of work, I am a huge Sheffield United fan and regularly watch the F1, supporting Lewis Hamilton. I have also recently started playing (attempting to) golf.
I am also a keen traveller. My wife and I regularly travel across the world.
