PKF UK appoints National Director of Tax, Lisa Macpherson

PKF Accountants & business advisers has appointed Lisa Macpherson as the firm’s new National Director of Tax. She joins from Deloitte’s Tax Policy Group, where she specialised in inheritance, trust and pre-owned asset taxes.

Lisa will head up PKF’s Tax Technical team, which supports the firm’s tax teams on policy and technical issues across its national network of 23 offices.

Lisa says: “This is an exciting time to be joining PKF, given that the UK tax regime has become increasingly complex in recent years with almost constant changes emanating from the Treasury and HM Revenue & Customs. The raft of new legislation and rules introduced in the last two years means that businesses are increasingly reliant on their tax advisers and my new role will be central to ensuring PKF’s tax advisers are ahead of the game.

Lisa has more than 20 years’ experience working in all areas of taxation including compliance and consultancy. She worked with Deloitte for nearly nine years both along the south coast and in the London office developing specialisms in IHT, trusts, pre-owned assets, and capital gains tax.
