William Hayter Director - Financial Services Tax

Will is a Director in our Financial Services Tax Advisory team advising insurers and other financial service organisations on corporation tax matters with almost ten years experience in practice across the firm and previously the Big Four.

Experience

Will has a Big Four background from which he has considerable experience in providing corporate tax compliance and advisory services to clients across the Life, GI and Lloyd's of London sub-sectors of insurance. With us, Will also advises other financial service organisations and works closely with the partner group to continue the growth of the Financial Services tax team. He has strong tax technical and tax accounting skills and has experience in leading large teams on complex client projects, including tax assurance engagements for FTSE 100 organisations.

Work Highlights 

Will has a passion for helping to support others through investing in new talent and building a supportive and welcoming working environment.

As a newly qualified Tax Advisor, Will developed in-house experience following a 12-month secondment to a large multi-national US HQ investment bank as part of their robust tax team. This experience has helped Will to gain a well-rounded view of inside a complex organisation's tax function which supports him in his Financial Services advisory work. 

Will has also been a Big Four representative of the ILAG Tax Practitioner Group industry body where he input into HMRC consultation responses affecting organisations in the life assurance industry.
