Sarah is a tax partner with many years of experience advising Private Equity Owned groups on tax. She spent 6 years working on M&A tax for Private equity houses and now applies what she learnt to the portfolio companies owned by Private equity that will ultimately change owners in the medium term.
Accordingly, Sarah’s experience spans both mainstream corporate tax and transactions. Her key areas of expertise are dealing with issues such as managing compliance, residency, taxable presence, cross border movements, cash extraction and transfer pricing. In the private equity owned space, common tax complexities arise in respect of interest deductions, withholding tax, transactions costs and management equity so she is adept in these.
She joined the firm as a graduate in 2000 and has worked part time since having her first child in 2009.
Sarah started building the Private Equity portfolio tax team in 2012, after identifying a gap in the market for a specific service aimed at portfolio companies. She then played a key role in establishing a national team of 75 people. The team continues to grow from strength to strength.
For her clients, she acts as Lead Tax Partner bringing together the best of Deloitte’s Tax specialists to ensure a consistent high level of service with a coordinated approach and one stop shop for tax.
