Crowe UK, the leading audit, tax, advisory and risk firm, continues regional growth with addition of an audit specialist partner and a new partner to its Workforce Advisory team.
Audit Team
Adam Terry joins Crowe with more than 15 years of audit experience. He will be based in the firm’s Kent office, which recently expanded with the acquisition of an 18-strong team from Dendy Neville.
Adam’s experience includes working with clients ranging from owner-managed businesses to large and listed companies, both in the UK and internationally, across a wide variety of sectors.
His specific focus will be corporate audit work and his hire is the latest step in the firm’s strategic growth plan for its local teams in Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells, which recently merged with Dendy Neville – a move which saw two new audit partners join Crowe’s ranks, alongside other specialists.
In recent times, Adam has focused on supporting private equity backed businesses seeking rapid growth and value creation with an eye on a potential future exit. He joins from another large leading accounting firm, where he led the Gatwick Audit team.
Workforce Advisory team
John Manis has over 15 years’ experience, and will further strengthen the Crowe’s Workforce Advisory team in Kent and across the UK with his depth of experience working with employee share schemes, employee ownership trusts, and advising management teams regarding M&A.
Covering Kent and other UK offices, he will provide tax and executive incentivisation advice with expertise in the taxation of investment funds, including carried interest and co-investment. He advises companies and employees on setting up tax-advantaged incentivisation structures and equity plans and works with investment funds on their investment advisory structures, and transactions.
Additionally, John is a member of the income tax sub-committee of the Law Society and is frequently involved in government discussions on new legislation affecting the taxation of employment income and investment funds. John’s appointment is timely following the government’s proposed to changes to the tax treatment of carried interest and with further changes to capital gains tax.
Nigel Bostock, Chief Executive, Crowe, said:
“I am delighted to welcome Adam and James to the partnership, hot off the heels of our recent acquisition of Dendy Neville. As a firm, we are committed to providing a first-class service to clients and will continue to strengthen our market-leading teams by attracting top talent as the opportunity arises.”
Mark Anderson, Kent Office Managing Partner, said:
“Adam and John are an excellent addition to Crowe’s partnership team, who both bring a wealth of experience to their respective fields. Their appointments are an important step in the growth of our team in Kent, ensuring we are fully equipped to continue delivering an exceptional service for our clients across the UK.”
Adam Terry, Partner, said:
“I’m thrilled to be joining Crowe. I’m looking forward to seizing the opportunities available in Kent. The local team and firm culture are a great fit for me, and I’m excited to become part of that.”
John Manis, Partner, said:
“I’m so pleased to be joining Crowe and look forward to helping in the continued growth of Crowe’s Workforce Advisory practice, building on the stellar work done already by the team.”
