LarsonAllen recruits former PwC Tax Director as a Partner
James (Jamie) Hammack has joined LarsonAllen’s tax practice as a partner with the Charlotte office, effective August 16. Hammack has more than 14 years of experience as a CPA in public accounting and was most recently a tax director with PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Private Company Services practice.
“LarsonAllen is a firm that does more than deliver the expected tax services,” says Hammack. “People at this firm understand the deeper business and industry issues that impact privately-held companies, and can advise on those levels. It’s a value-add that I am excited to be a part of.”
As a tax director with PricewaterhouseCoopers, Hammack served privately held companies in industries such as financial services, manufacturing and distribution, construction and real estate, and sports entertainment. Jamie is a great addition to our firm” says John Berens, partner-in-charge of LarsonAllen’s Charlotte tax practice. “We were looking for a leader who could mentor staff, serve clients, and create opportunities by building a network in the community. It’s a big role, and Jamie fits it.”
He has extensive tax consulting experience including cost segregation, tax method studies, IRS defense, and general tax planning. As part of his tenure with PricewaterhouseCoopers, Hammack spent two years in Washington DC with the firm’s national tax services group. He earned his bachelor of science degree in accounting and a master’s in taxation from Appalachian State University.
