Experienced tax specialist Robert Brown has joined accountancy firm Milsted Langdon’s tax team in Bristol as a partner.
Robert, pictured, has more than 30 years’ experience and has worked for most of his career in the Bristol offices of large national accountancy firms in Bristol advising businesses and individuals on compliance tax matters and mitigating tax liabilities through careful planning. 
These include BDO and RSM – where he was tax director – and Coopers & Lybrand (later PricewaterhouseCoopers) – where he spent 14 years as a senior tax manager.
He joins Milsted Langdon from e-learning group Stonebridge Associated Colleges, where he was group CFO for five years.
His areas of expertise include private client work, such as Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains Tax planning, and corporate tax matters, such as R&D tax credits, Patent Box, property matters, transactions including succession planning for owner-managed businesses and private companies. He also assists with compliance and tax planning for professional partnerships.
Robert said: “Milsted Langdon has a strong reputation for the quality of its work and I’m looking forward to bringing my experience to the tax team, as well as the wider teams that I’ll be working alongside.
“Although there have been severe challenges for businesses of late, I’m confident there are also opportunities to help businesses and individuals to thrive in these circumstances.”
Milsted Langdon chairman Tim Close added: “Despite it being a challenging time in the world of work and indeed tax, with the uncertainties of the economic recovery from Covid-19 and Brexit, we continue to see investment and a strong demand for pragmatic advisory services.
“We are very pleased that Robert has become part of the team and we look forward to introducing him to our clients in Bristol and the wider region.”
Milsted Langdon has 22 partners and around 230 staff across offices in Bristol, Bath, London, Taunton and Yeovil.
