‘Wholey’ the right man for the job; Andrew Wholey joins Old Mill’s tax team
Old Mill Accountancy LLP, which has offices in Exeter, Shepton Mallet and Yeovil has further strengthened its Tax Planning team with the appointment of international tax expert Andrew Wholey.
Andrew first began his training 28 years ago at Arthur Anderson & Co in London, where his specialism was US and expatriate taxation. Most recently, he held the position of Director of Tax & People Services at KPMG, where his main area of expertise was International Executive Services.
Andrew began temping at Old Mill in January, where it became clear that his knowledge of international tax was very valuable to the Tax Planning Team; by February 11, he had joined the Yeovil office permanently as a tax consultant.
He says he is really looking forward to the new challenges working at Old Mill will bring, and despite his specialism in international tax, is keen to apply himself as a more general consultant.
“Over the past few years, I have been specialising in one particular area, but this new role is giving me the opportunity to get back up to speed with all the broader aspects of UK taxation, like corporate, capital gains and inheritance tax.”
The 49-year-old says he was attracted to Old Mill because of the firm’s reputation and the fact that he could relocate to his favourite part of the country.
“I had a real desire to change lifestyle and relocate from the Thames Valley because it is my favourite part of England,” said Andrew, who recently moved into his new home on the Dorset Somerset border with his wife and their many pets - two lurcher dogs, four chickens and a cat.
He says that once he had decided to move to the area, the choice of where to work was easy, “Within this market I was attracted to Old Mill because of its reputation, multidisciplinary approach and vision,” he said.
Bruce Lockhart, tax partner at Old Mill says Andrew is going to be a very valuable asset.
“As well as many years of international tax experience, both individual and corporate, and knowledge of mainstream UK employee taxation, Andrew has a great deal of sales and marketing experience that will add to Old Mill’s already impressive tax planning credentials and their ability to assist clients within the increasingly complex world of tax compliance,” he said.
Ends.
