Grant Thornton makes four leadership appointments in tax practice
Global professional services group Grant Thornton has made four high-level appointments in its Australian Tax practice.
Installed as the new leader of the around 200-strong practice is Sandie Boswell, who has been named National Managing Partner for Tax. She steps into the shoes of Nicole Bradley, who held the role for about three years.
“I’m thrilled to be appointed National Managing Partner for Tax at Grant Thornton. With the regulatory landscape constantly changing and issues such as multinational tax and Australian tax reform increasingly in the news, we have a wonderful team of taxation experts adept at supporting our clients to grow,” said Boswell.
Boswell brings over 20 years of experience in R&D Incentives and government programs to the role. She has been with Grant Thornton since 2020, joining the professional services group through its acquisition of Glasshouse Advisory. Before that, she spent close to fifteen years at Big Four firm PwC.
Thomas Isbell has been appointed to Head of National Specialist Tax. He brings a wealth of experience to the role, having worked in the space across the United Kingdom and Australia for over two decades (including also at PwC and Deloitte). Isbell and his team advise on a range of international employment and expatriate tax issues.
Daniel Kave has been appointed as Head of Corporate Tax. He has extensive experience providing corporate tax advice and specialises in complex tax areas such as consolidations, structuring for mergers and acquisitions, due diligence, corporate structuring and tax planning, capital gains tax, international tax structuring, and tax loss utilisation.
