UK top 10 accountancy and advisory firm Azets has appointed a senior tax compliance expert to Corporate Tax Director at its Manchester office.

Tina Warhurst will be using her experience and key contacts for Azets’ growing client base across the North West. Her career includes 20 years at ‘Big 4’ accountancy firm KPMG with her later years there as part of its national corporate tax compliance team.

More recently she was at BDO in Manchester where her experience included helping all sizes and types of business manage their corporate tax governance and compliance obligations.

Graham Rigby, Office Managing Partner in Manchester, said:

“With ever evolving and complex UK tax regulations being introduced, the level of compliance facing companies continues to rise, as does tax requirements as they grow."

“Tina’s extensive experience will help us support more companies to manage and comply with these complexities and aid their long-term growth plans.”

Tina said:

“Azets’ reputation in the sector is second to none and I look forward to supporting companies with their tax compliance obligations. I have built up many years of experience working nationally and internationally with clients, including in-house leading the tax team for Yorkshire Building Society."

“This has given me further insights into the many facets of UK tax which I will be utilising for the benefit of Azets’ clients across the region.”
