One minute with Jonathan Riley, the new head of tax at Grant Thornton UK LLP
How did you end up in tax?
Accident. I needed a job before going to study journalism and loved it so much I stayed!
Who in tax do you most admire?
Mike Warburton – a great passion for tax in the right way – ensuring it is understandable and relevant to clients.
What are you working on at the moment?
Delivering a tax strategy for Grant Thornton that is relevant to our needs – both clients and our people.
Is there a common problem you come across time and again in tax?
Complexity. It’s actually at the heart of the current fuss over tax avoidance – if the regimes were simpler and rates lower then the need to navigate around a complex regime in the UK (and overseas) would be reduced.
