Accountancy and advisory firm S&W has strengthened its tax advisory team with the appointment of Caroline Hadfield as business tax director.

Caroline joins from Vita, where she oversaw group tax matters spanning major acquisitions, international expansion and funding activity, including securing more than £2 billion in debt and delivering disposals worth over £1.5 billion. 

She previously served as tax director at Grant Thornton, specialising in transaction taxes across the North West.

With wide-ranging experience in business transformation and performance improvement, Caroline will focus on expanding S&W’s regional presence and enhancing its business tax offering for clients across the region.

She said: “I am excited to join S&W at such a pivotal time in its growth and bring the quality and expertise of the S&W brand to clients in the North West. 

“I’ve been particularly impressed by the firm’s emphasis on client service, and a key driver for me going forward is to deliver this personal, bespoke approach to businesses locally. 

“I look forward to building strong relationships and, drawing on my years of leading an in-house tax team, to offer clients a fresh new perspective.”

Donna Bulmer, north regional managing partner at S&W, added: “Caroline’s appointment is a clear signal of our ambition to grow our business tax offering and continue investing in talent that enhances the value we deliver to clients.
