UK-based accounting and advisory practice PKF Smith Cooper has expanded its senior tax team in the West Midlands with the appointment of Beverley Scott as corporate tax partner.
Scott will collaborate with existing tax leadership to support the firm’s plans to enhance its corporate tax practice and expand its capabilities across the region.
James Bagley, managing partner at PKF Smith Cooper, said: “The appointment of Bev as tax partner is an important milestone for the firm as we move forward with our ambitious five-year plan to double its size.
“Her extensive experience and deep knowledge of the Midlands market make her an excellent addition to our leadership team.”
Scott has over 20 years’ experience advising owner-managed businesses, working with businesses based in the Midlands and elsewhere in the UK.
He joins PKF Smith Cooper after six and a half years at another Midlands-based organisation, having held previous roles at two of the ‘big four’ companies.
His career began at a boutique advisory firm, where he worked with a wide range of clients, from smaller companies to large international groups.
Commenting on her appointment, Scott said: “I am delighted to be joining PKF Smith Cooper at such an exciting time in the company’s growth.
“With its strong and well-established presence in the wider Midlands region, I look forward to working alongside the leadership team to help further develop and strengthen the firm’s position across the West Midlands region, as well as further enhancing the corporate tax offering across the firm.”
Last November, Smith Cooper appointed Lucinda Matkin as the new director of its Business Recovery and Restructuring unit, expanding its operations in the East Midlands.
