HURST strengthens tax team

Accounting and business advisory firm HURST, headquartered in Stockport, has bolstered its tax capability with two senior appointments as growth accelerates across its national client base.

Neelum Ali has joined the firm as a senior manager in the private client team from Forvis Mazars, where she spent ten years leading a healthcare-focused practice. 

At HURST, she will oversee personal tax compliance and support a growing pipeline of private client advisory work.

Kevin Martin has also been appointed as a senior manager, joining the corporate tax compliance division from TLP Consulting. 

He brings broad experience across practice and industry, including senior roles at Mazars, PwC and Sabre Europe Management Services.

Their appointments support HURST’s wider expansion plans, with the firm targeting £20 million turnover by 2028 through continued recruitment, new service lines and significant investment in technology.

Liz Gallagher, head of tax at HURST, said: “Demand for our newer tax service lines is accelerating, particularly in private client advisory and corporate tax compliance.

“Bringing in Neelum and Kevin as senior managers strengthens both areas and enhances our offering to a growing national client base.

“Neelum adds leadership and sector expertise from her decade at Forvis Mazars to oversee personal tax compliance, and Kevin deepens our corporate compliance team so we can scale without compromising on quality.”
