A well-known tax expert who has spent more than 25 years advising high net worth individuals on their personal tax affairs has joined chartered accounting and business advisory firm, Saffery’s Leeds office.
Fiona Harford-Cross joins the firm as a private client senior tax manager. Fiona previously worked at KPMG in Leeds for more than 20 years and she also spent six years at Deloitte.
In her new role she will advise high net worth individuals based across Yorkshire and the North of England on all aspects of their personal tax, with a particular focus on trusts, landed estates and family wealth structuring.
Fiona said: “Saffery is a widely respected firm that has always had a strong reputation for its personal tax expertise, particularly surrounding both trusts and landed estates. These are both areas that I have spent many years specialising in, and when the firm moved to Leeds late last year, I knew it was a place where I could work and add further value.
“I’m now looking forward to the challenges and opportunities ahead as we continue to build our client base across the North of England.”
Sally Appleton, partner and head of the Leeds office at Saffery, said: “Fiona is a well-known personal tax advisor in Yorkshire with masses of experience and a superb track record when it comes to navigating the UK’s tax system and creating tax efficient structures and strategies for her clients, which makes her a perfect fit for our team, and we’re delighted to welcome her to Saffery.”
