With 25 years’ experience working with these types of clients – as well as those in areas where haysmacintyre is really well known such as charities and private clients – I very much look forward to leading the team. As the UK economy picks up, clients will be looking for practical and commercial tax advice to ensure that they lead the UK out of the downturn”.
