Throgmorton, a UK accountancy and professional services provider to the hedge fund, private equity and corporate finance industries, has added two senior tax industry practitioners to its growing team.

Raminder Chowdhary has joined as the firm’s head of VAT, while Stephen Smith has assumed the role of tax manager.
 
Chowdhary has joined from KPMG where he specialised in VAT matters relating to UK and European financial services. He was previously VAT manager at Vantis. Chowdhary started his career with Deloitte & Touche.
 
Smith joins Throgmorton from the accountancy firm Mazars where he has spent the last 12 years. A business tax specialist, he has 15 years’ experience, encompassing start-ups, corporate and partnership tax compliance, tax planning and transaction tax.
 
Andrew Rubio (pictured), recently appointed Throgmorton chief executive, says: “We are delighted that Raminder and Stephen have joined. Our employees are our greatest assets. We quickly develop a complete understanding of our client’s operations and become a fully integrated function of their business. Throgmorton’s core values are integrity, transparency, collegiality and quality and Raminder and Stephen exemplify these.”
