Northern Accountants adds tax expertise

Northern Accountants has appointed Robert Wilson as associate tax director, strengthening the Leeds-headquartered firm’s specialist tax service.

With nearly 20 years’ experience in corporate and personal tax planning, Robert has worked with both boutique and leading practices, advising on everything from company structures to succession planning. 

Rob, who is set to support Northern Accountants’ base of almost 700 clients, added: “I’ve enjoyed a really varied career so far, representing a broad spectrum of clients ranging from ambitious entrepreneurs to large corporate groups, as well as individuals who simply want to explore their tax position.

“But it’s this role that excites me the most – becoming involved in an established but progressive business that never stands still when it comes to client service levels.”

Robert’s appointment supports the firm’s growth ambitions, with recent hires across payroll, client management, bookkeeping and HR, plus a new advisory board.

Northern Accountants operates from Leeds, Hull and Edinburgh, offering a full range of tax services.

Phil Ellerby, managing director and founder of Northern Accountants, added: “It’s taken us years to find someone of Rob’s calibre, but it’s his straight-talking, problem-solving focus that makes him the perfect fit for both us, and our clients. 

“His priority is to help businesses and their directors navigate the changing demands of the tax environment, clearly, and with their objectives always in mind. 

“And given the challenges of the economic climate, I think his ability to help compliantly maximise directors’ personal and commercial wealth, has never been so important.”
