The first 16 years of his career where spent at the then Inland Revenue. He has worked with a wide range of clients across a variety of sectors, from some of the largest organisations in the UK though to smaller, entrepreneurial businesses and private individuals. He is also experienced in disclosure work and as an expert witness and has lectured on technical matters for CIOT, the ICAEW, ACCA, the AAT and The Law Society.
Tax partner John Claypole, who leads Mazars’ national tax investigations team says: “We are extremely pleased to welcome Gary to the firm; his skill set and experience are second to none. He will be a great asset to both the team and our clients as he helps expand our offering in the external marketplace through a strong network of contacts. Gary also brings with him a deep understanding of risk assurance, managing risk and strategic planning, allowing him to provide a more balanced offering to those clients keen to ensure their house is in order.”
Gary comments: “Mazars is a great, client centric firm with a tax investigations group that is very talented and growing fast. I am very much looking forward to working with Jon and the team to support current clients and help grow the offering at a national level. Risk awareness will play key part in our development going forward and indeed my work in recent years has had a strong focus on the forensic and preventative advice. ”
