Welcome back, tax partner David Reynolds!

We are delighted to welcome back tax specialist David Reynolds to HURST as a partner in a newly created role supporting our growing client base.

David spent four years at HURST as a senior tax manager from 2011 to 2015. He has rejoined us from Altrincham-based TACS, where he was a director.

His expertise spans succession planning, business restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, capital gains tax and inheritance tax.

Liz Gallagher, head of HURST’s tax team, said: “David is highly experienced, with extensive knowledge across a wide range of taxes, specialising in advising owner-managed and family businesses.

“As our client base continues to grow and their tax affairs become increasingly complex, David’s experience will be invaluable in strengthening our advisory team. His appointment will help ensure we continue to provide the high-quality, commercially focused advice our clients need.

“David worked with us several years ago, so it is particularly pleasing to welcome him back. He knows the firm and our approach to looking after clients, and I am confident he will make a significant contribution to the team.”

David said: “Over the past 15 years, my focus has been on advising owner-managed businesses, building relationships and helping them navigate the tax challenges they face as they grow and evolve.

“It’s great to be back at HURST. In some ways, it feels as though I’ve never been away. The practice has grown significantly and moved into excellent new office space, but there are many familiar faces and clients.

“Meeting with Liz and the other partners during the interview process made it clear that, even though the firm has expanded considerably over the last 11 years, it has maintained its strong culture and focus on its people.

“I’ve always seen HURST as ambitious and willing to stand out from the crowd. Joining Dains Group feels like a natural next step for the firm, and it’s exciting to return at this stage and play a part in HURST’s next chapter.”
