Tax firm announces key partner promotion

Claritas Tax has promoted Alex Hall partner in recognition of his outstanding impact on the growth of the valuations service line.

Alex (pictured) joined Claritas in 2021, and since then has been instrumental in driving the firm’s strategic growth ambitions.

He has a fantastic reputation amongst Claritas’ client base and is highly regarded within the Claritas family.

In his time with Claritas, Alex has been instrumental in tripling the revenue of Claritas’ Valuations and Equity Reward business and has built a strong reputation in the market for the quality of the work produced by his team.

Alex Hall, partner and head of valuations said: “Since joining Claritas almost four years ago, it has been fantastic to watch the growth of the firm.

“What resonates with me is that we have been able to maintain our culture and high standard of client delivery whilst rapidly expanding to a firm with national coverage.

“Matt, Iain and the rest of the team have supported me since day one at Claritas and I am extremely proud to be promoted to Partner in a business that demands excellence but is also extremely fun to work for.”

In the last year alone, Claritas has grown its national team by 33 people, including the acquisition of the 22 strong Incentives and Reliefs team from Markel earlier this year.

A further 12 people have already committed to joining by the New Year. Claritas’ focus is always on its people and clients, and its commitment to the team’s career development, recognition of achievement and a few other secret ingredients, which make Claritas an incredible place to work, grow and stay.

The growth in the Valuations and Equity Reward offering over the last few years has been achieved through a combination of strategic and successful hires, a strong repeat client base and inbound referrals from intermediaries and contacts.

Iain Wright, founding partner and Birmingham office lead said: “We’ve always been focused on nurturing the talent we have within Claritas, and I am proud to say that we do have the brightest minds in tax.

“Alex is of huge value to our business, and he lives and breathes our values.

“This was a thoroughly deserved promotion, and I am excited to welcome him to the leadership team that keeps going from strength to strength.”

Matt Hodgson, partner and Manchester office lead continued: “Alex is a highly-valued member of our team and this promotion is, quite rightly, recognition for his total commitment to growing our Valuations and Equity Reward team on a national basis. 

“There’s huge potential to grow this part of our business further, working alongside Al Milne, who leads our Equity Reward team, which makes me very excited for the future.”
