Hear it from our people what life is like in the Tax team.
Mimi Chan – Corporate Tax Partner
“I’ve been at the firm for over 14 years, progressing from trainee through to Partner. After qualifying, I spent a year at a Big 4 Firm before returning to PKF. The broad experience and responsibility that had become second nature to me at PKF simply could not be matched by the Big 4, which is why I came back. Since returning, the experiences I’ve had have really helped me grow, including being seconded to a client. There are lots of opportunities to take part in activities across the firm and I’ve run the Hackney Half marathon with my colleagues and spoken about Chinese New Year and what it means to me.”
Brenda Hu – Human Capital Manager
“I joined PKF in February 2020 (just before the first Covid lockdown!) after five years with one of the Big Four. What I like most about PKF is the type of work that you undertake and the culture. The work is much more varied than in a larger firm and this means you get much broader experience. You work on a variety of tasks from day 1 and every day is different. PKF offers a great work-life balance and culture which encourages you to reflect the firm’s values. Everyone is super friendly, and the team and firm really help you develop both technically and on soft skills. The firm is also very inclusive and diverse; we celebrate various holidays from different cultures throughout the year. I had the opportunity to speak and educate the firm my hometown, during Diversity and Inclusion week.”
Catherine Heyes – Corporate Tax Partner
“I’ve been at the firm now for over eight years, having joined as a senior manager and being promoted to Partner in 2016. I’m originally from the north-west and I’ve embraced our agile working policy by moving out of London after almost 20 years here; I now work two days a week in the office and spend the rest of my week at home. This would not have been possible without our agile working policy. I’m a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community and I also chair our Wellbeing and Inclusion group which has representatives from across the firm. As a group we continue to make PKF a great place to work.”
