Experienced corporate tax adviser takes up Partner role with Armstrong Watson in Manchester
Armstrong Watson has announced the appointment of Tax Partner Tania Dimitrovich.
Tania brings more than 20 years’ corporate tax experience to the team and will lead Armstrong Watson’s tax practice in Manchester.
Tania joins Armstrong Watson after 13 years with KPMG, where she spent the last five as a Tax Director. She held various roles at the Big Four firm and worked with diverse clients and sector specialisms, including tax risk management and governance, real estate and transactions, and the public sector.
Originally training with HMRC as both a Corporation Tax Inspector and Chartered Tax Advisor, Tania worked as a Customer Relationship Manager for some of the largest businesses in the South West. She appreciates that businesses seek practical, accessible tax advice that informs commercial decisions and enjoys working with clients to deliver this.
Commenting on her appointment, Tania said: “I’m looking forward to being able to build a local team and help the Manchester office grow.
“Armstrong Watson’s focus on culture and its goal of ‘being the best accounting financial advisory firm to deal with, delivering the best client experience in the UK’ really appeals to me.”
Becky Bowness, Head of Tax, said: “We are delighted to welcome Tania to the Armstrong Watson team. She brings a wealth of experience advising clients on complex corporate tax matters and adds further depth to our tax offering with her extensive knowledge and experience advising on Tax Risk and Governance. The strategic appointment of Tania to lead our tax offering in Manchester marks a significant milestone in the continued growth of our Manchester team.”
Tania will work with the wider tax team to build on the experience the firm has to navigate the evolving tax landscape as Armstrong Watson and its clients grow and transition into the larger corporate space. Her appointment also further strengthens the senior team in Manchester.
Armstrong Watson expanded into Manchester in 2022, when it acquired specialist automotive advisory business ASE Professional Services and moved into a new office in Cheadle Royal Business Park, near Manchester Airport.
Since then, the team has grown significantly, with the recruitment of 17 additional staff including Audit and Assurance Partner and office lead Steve Preston and Restructuring and Insolvency Partner Lindsey Cooper. The team has continued to bring in new work and revenue has almost tripled in size over the last three years. Alongside having an automotive sector specialist team based in Manchester, Armstrong Watson is also developing a full service offering covering multiple sectors, with Tania responsible for leading and developing the tax practice.
