Who we are
Meet Our Team
Tax expertise underpins everything we do, but we would not have been able to develop the track record we have without the right team to deliver our approach.
Hawthorn Tax employs talented graduate and non-graduate trainees and experienced individuals seeking a long-term career. Our team – and our whole practice – benefits from our desire to innovate and look for inspiration beyond the conventional bounds of our profession, but also our respect for the work-life balance crucial to providing positive and energetic engagement with our clients.
