Hodgson leaves RSM Bentley Jennison to head up BTG Tax in Birmingham
Leading specialist tax firm BTG Tax has appointed two new partners to strengthen its growing team in Birmingham.
John Hodgson, previously Head of Tax at RSM Bentley Jennison, has joined BTG Tax as Managing Partner of Birmingham. He brings 25 years experience in mitigating clients’ tax exposure with commercial tax planning.
He said: “Being able to provide comprehensive but confidential advice, independent of any in-house product mandates, audit constraints or tied legal and financial service reciprocities, opens up all manner of exciting opportunities to assist clients, both corporate and private, to mitigate commercially their tax exposures.”
Ray Abercromby, previously corporate tax partner at the Manchester BTG Tax office, has also moved to Birmingham. Ray has been national head of corporate tax within the firm since last year and specialises in transactional tax and corporate restructuring work.
National Managing Partner of BTG Tax Andrew Shaw said: “These appointments mark an exciting time for BTG Tax as we build our expertise, allowing us to further develop our reputation as the leading independent tax practice in Birmingham.
“The continued growth of the firm and our 100 per cent focus on tax issues gives us a clear advantage in the market by enabling us to provide first-class, bespoke advice and solutions to both clients and their professional contacts.”
BTG Tax, a member of the Begbies Traynor Group, provides tax, fiscal structuring and investigations consultancy and works with general practice accountants, lawyers and Independent Financial Advisers to give specialist advice to their clients.
BTG Tax aims to develop strategic partnerships with its clients to ensure effective specialist tax advice is used to manage their overall financial exposure. It also assists clients in dealing with HM Revenue & Customs’ (HMRC) enquiries, investigations and settlement negotiations, where complex issues are in question or where HMRC are seeking to prosecute.
