Ex HMRC Tax specialist joins Sapphire

News

It is with great pleasure we would like to announce the appointment of our new Tax Director Stefan Fielding.

Stefan has spent his career working in various roles in both tax practices and industry, working on a mixed portfolio of clients across a range of sectors.

Stefan, a qualified tax specialist, offers a unique perspective and an excellent understanding of how the industry operates. His experience working with HMRC for over seven years as a Senior Tax Inspector along with his extensive knowledge and skills acquired from his years working in Practice at BDO and industry working at Electricity North West will be instrumental in ensuring Sapphire continues to deliver exceptional service.

While Stefan quickly settles into his role here at Sapphire, he is eager to learn and understand more about our clients, with a keen interest in adding value to our existing client portfolios and increasing the scope of the services we offer.

We want all our employees to be secure in the knowledge that they have a bright future with Sapphire and Stefan is no exception, he has big plans for Sapphire Accounting and is ready to pave the way for new and existing clients to have a stress-free experience when it comes to their tax affairs. Stefan says:

“I think a lot about people and how they approach tax affairs, I see it all the time, business owners and individuals can lose a lot of sleep and constantly worry about their tax affairs.

I want to work with a practice who are truly client-focused and I can see this is very much the case with Sapphire. There is always someone on the end of the phone who knows the system and can take away the worry of everyday tax affairs.”

We are all very excited to see what the next few months have to offer, no one more so than our Managing Director Mark Connor:

Having known Stefan personally for over 15 years, I’m delighted he’s chosen Sapphire as the next step in his career and joining the already great team we have in place.

As our client base continues to expand, Stef’s tax expertise and prior experience working at HMRC and BDO is something that I know will only enhance Sapphire’s offering to both existing and new clients. He will be key in supporting our dedicated teams and I look forward to him playing a significant role in our continued growth plans in the coming years.
