Jordan Hamilton-Cox has joined, Midlands law firm Wright Hassall as a Trust and Tax Executive.
Mr Hamilton-Cox joins Wright Hassall from Baldwins Accountants. Previously, he has also worked for HM Revenue & Customs for four years.
His appointment to the role of Trust and Tax Executive comes as the firm deals with an increasing number of tax queries and continues to expand the team following the appointment of Israr Manawer as a Tax Consultant earlier this year.
Mr Hamilton-Cox has already streamlined the firm’s process of reporting matters to HM Revenue & Customs by introducing new software which makes their work more time-efficient.
He said:
“I’ve looked to bring in some new software for the team that automates the process of tax filing and also performs additional checks on paper returns to make the process far simpler and more efficient in my new role.
“I’m really looking forward to the new role at Wright Hassall and in particular the challenges of moving from an accountancy firm to a law firm, which will be an interesting change.
“The team have all been incredibly helpful and I feel as if I have settled in very quickly. Hopefully I can bring a different perspective to some aspects of the work because of my accountancy background.”
Eamonn Daly, Partner at Wright Hassall added:
“We’re pleased to welcome Jordan to his new role and in particular we’re looking forward to seeing the efficiency of the filing process and understanding of HMRC processes that he can bring from his previous roles.
“He brings with him important experience and his knowledge will be incredibly useful for the team.”
