Ben Director

“There is a very positive people-focused culture at PKF Francis Clark.”
The firm’s reputation initially attracted me, combined with its vision, progressiveness and attitudes towards people.
I am a Business Services & Tax Director and my role is quite varied. I look after a client portfolio which ranges from sole traders and private clients to large corporate groups and listed companies, dealing with accounts and tax compliance services. I also head up the Taunton office’s corporate tax compliance team. My work also involves assisting clients with Making Tax Digital strategies and software decisions. I am also Health & Wellbeing Champion for the Taunton office and assist with the social committee.
PKF Francis Clark is a professional and modern firm to work for, but like any workplace, it is the people that make it what it is.
There is a very positive people-focused culture at PKF Francis Clark, helping to support individuals in their work place, and to ensure a healthy work/life balance is maintained.
I joined PKF Francis Clark as a director after moving from a London based firm to the South West. I would like to progress to a partner in the future.
I have been supported by peers and partners in my office with my transition into the work place and the job role.

Spending it with those close to me, with a bit of paddleboarding, wakeboarding and gin thrown into the mix.
