Accountants strengthen tax team

Bates Weston has announced a new addition to its tax team.

Jack Purkis has joined the business as assistant manager as he looks to broaden his experience in tax advisory work.

He has previously focused on personal tax compliance in his roles to date.

Tax partner Craig Simpson said that the tax team at Bates Weston remains busy.

He said: “The focus of the business remains simple; to scope work and quote clearly, follow up by doing what we say we are going to do, and to communicate well.

“Many firms favour focusing on very specific areas of tax. We focus on a joined up, wholistic approach and continue to see an influx of family office work as the number of mixed tax advisors in the market diminishes.

“The expanded team are busy and there are many opportunities to win work.”
