Tax firm continues to expand award-winning team

Claritas Tax has announced the appointment of three new key recruits to their ever-growing, award-winning, full-service tax business.

The new joiners follow an influx of new recruits for the business at all levels, as the independent multi-disciplinary tax practice continues to implement its rapid growth plans and investment in people, to support clients on the complex and challenging nature of tax.

The three recruits are:

• Michael Kouris who joined on 10 June as an assistant manager in the Corporate & Transactions teams
• James Allen started on 4 July, joining the Corporate & Transactions teams as a senior associate
• Becky Hardy joined on 30 July as a manager in the firm’s Employment Taxes team.

All three will be based in Manchester, but their roles will see them working closely with Claritas Tax’s teams in Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow, and Nottingham to strengthen their respective specialisms and service line offerings across the UK.

Matt Hodgson, partner and head of the Manchester Office at Claritas, commented: “I am delighted to welcome all three new recruits to our fast-growing tax practice.

“All three are relatively early in their careers and so their appointments are an investment in their futures and in the future of our business as a whole. By continuing to strengthen our team with key recruits, we are enhancing our ability to provide a dependable and thorough service to our clients.”

Iain Wright, founding partner and head of the Birmingham Office at Claritas commented: “Our business is expanding at an incredible rate, improving and strengthening all our existing service lines. It is aligned to our position of having been recognised as the ‘Best Employer in Tax’ at this year’s Tolley’s Taxation Awards.

“We are excited to support all three with their aspirations and career pathways and look forward to the impact that this will have for us as a firm as we continue to build the best-in-class team that advises and supports our clients.”
