Adam Zaman, Senior Corporate Tax Manager, and Matt Doherty, Corporate Tax Manager.

As UK Midlands member of the global PKF International network, PKF Smith Cooper is a mid-tier firm with a global clout – and completed over 100 deals worth a combined £2 billion last year. The firm is pushing ahead with plans to double in size within the next five years.

To that end, Zama’s sector expertise spans automotive technology and vehicle leasing, farms and landed estates, hotels and restaurants, IT, telecommunications and technology, manufacturing and engineering among others, helping to expand the expertise needed to deliver on the firm’s plans. After earning a first-class degree in Accounting and Finance, he started his professional career at a regional firm in South Yorkshire, which gave him a comprehensive understanding of the tax needs of SMEs. After eight years, he moved onto a top 10 accountancy practice.

“I am delighted to be joining PKF Smith Cooper as a Corporate Tax Senior Manager,” said Zaman. “I have been warmly welcomed by the team, which is a testament to the great individuals at the firm. I am excited to enhance the already fantastic corporation tax offering at PKF Smith Cooper and look forward to helping our clients with the complexities of the tax world.”

Doherty meanwhile commenced his career at a Big Four firm, and he has since accrued over a decade of experience. He has worked with both large companies and SMEs in a range of industries, and has developed specialist experience in the manufacturing and engineering, real estate, sports, and transport and logistics industries.

“I am also thrilled to be joining PKF Smith Cooper as a Corporate Tax Manager,” Doherty agreed. “The team have been very welcoming and I look forward to working closely with our clients to meet their corporate tax compliance obligations, navigate complex tax legislation, understand and mitigate tax risks, take advantage of tax opportunities and incentives and, more broadly, achieve their commercial objectives.”

The new senior recruits join PKF Smith Cooper in its Nottingham office, just three months after a capital allowances director and employment tax director were hired. The company will also be welcoming a new tax senior during the next two weeks and recruitment is ongoing for an employment tax manager/senior manager and a personal tax manager. With the firm’s popular graduate scheme also set to open in September, the PKF Smith Cooper tax division is undergoing a period of significant growth.
