On the move: the latest East Midlands hires
Accountancy and business advisory specialist PKF Smith Cooper has appointed a new employment tax manager.
Katie Dziewulski previously occupied the same position at a leading fitness apparel company. She holds a BSc in Sports and Exercise Science from the University of Birmingham and has a wealth of experience in the accountancy sector, having spent four years working for a top 10 UK firm.
Laura Parr, head of employment tax at PKF Smith Cooper, said: “I am delighted to welcome Katie to our employment tax team. Her specialist knowledge and experience will be great assets to our clients as we support them in all areas of compliance including expenses, benefits, IR35/employment status, NMW, and HMRC investigations into CJRS Furlough, as well as implementing salary sacrifice arrangements to enhance employees’ take-home pay.
“Since Covid-19 we have seen an increase in employee global mobility, and Katie’s addition to our team will help us further develop this area of work as we grow and enhance our service offering.”
Dziewulski said: “It is great to be joining PKF Smith Cooper and moving back into the professional services industry. I am looking forward to working with a variety of clients and getting stuck into solving some of their trickiest tax compliance issues!”
PKF Smith Cooper has offices in Derby, Nottingham, Birmingham and Ashbourne.
