Hentons has promoted Simon Roberts to tax planning manager and Gary Olding to tax compliance manager. It has also appointed Peter Early to assist the tax advisory team.
Simon Gray, tax partner at Hentons said: “We’re seeing an upswing in clients profitability, so there’s more tax planning work to do. We work with our clients to ensure they are paying tax in the most efficient way possible, freeing up cash to invest in growth through new staff and R&D.
