Debere expands tax advisory team

Washington-based accountancy firm Debere has expanded its tax team with the appointment of chartered tax adviser Kelly-ann Wilde.

Kelly-ann brings more than 15 years’ experience and will work alongside founder and partner Tony Tomlin, supporting clients on a range of tax advisory and compliance matters.

Her appointment reflects the firm’s continued investment in meeting growing demand for specialist advice on complex tax, restructuring and transactional issues.

Kelly-ann said: “I am excited to be part of such a knowledgeable and experienced team. 

“I enjoy working with our diverse client base and guiding them through their tax planning and business restructuring needs, on both one off and long-term projects.”

The team also includes associate director Rebecca Swales, who advises clients on group restructures, business sales and other one-off tax projects.

Dual qualified as both a chartered tax adviser and chartered accountant, Rebecca combines technical tax and accounting expertise to support businesses through complex transactions.

Rebecca added: “I’m incredibly proud to have been with Debere since the very beginning. 

“It’s been rewarding to see how much we've grown and all the milestones we’ve achieved along the way, and I can't wait to see where the future takes us.”

Debere said its expanded tax team will help support entrepreneurial businesses with everything from day-to-day tax compliance to specialist advisory work, including restructuring, succession planning and business transactions.

Tony Tomlin, director and founder of Debere, added: “We are building an experienced tax advisory team here at Debere, following recent government announcements around raising taxes to fund the UK economic black hole, we have experienced a significant increase in queries from clients around trying to protect the family wealth and ensure can maximise the amount passed to future generations.

“With Rebecca, and the recent addition of Kelly-ann, and also bringing in more into the team further this year, we are on a journey with our clients to assist with their future aspirations.”
