New associate director joins accountancy firm’s Nottingham office

BDO LLP has appointed a new associate director to its expat team.

Mark Allsopp is a qualified UK/US tax advisor with over 14 years’ experience in expatriate areas, including inbound/outbound advisory, UK/US resident considerations and streamlined filing for non-compliant US individuals.

At BDO, Allsopp will be responsible for assisting US individuals who are moving to, or who are based in the UK, to navigate the complexities of both the UK and US tax systems.

He will be based at BDO’s new Nottingham city centre office, but will be part of the firm’s north region expat team.

He said: “Navigating complex dual tax systems can be a daunting and complicated process for any US individual based in the UK – particularly for those who establish they are ‘accidental Americans’ and need to meet their obligation to be compliant with US tax. We’re looking to assist those who face these complexities and help them to navigate this process knowing they are in safe hands throughout.”

Ben Tarry, a tax partner at BDO in the Midlands, added: “Mark is a fantastic addition to our Expat team – not just in the Midlands, but across the North region too.

“His appointment marks an exciting opportunity for the firm, as we look to unlock significant potential in the regional markets. Mark’s experience in areas such as expatriation of US individuals and relevant tax compliance, will be vital in helping us to build our presence outside of London.”
