Daniel Sopher

Spear’s Review

Daniel Sopher of Sopher + Co wields formidable expertise in advising owner-managed businesses, entrepreneurs and HNW individuals and families.

He’s not known for mincing his words. ‘Tax is going up; things are becoming tougher,’ he says. With ‘big changes in capital gains tax and inheritance tax’ on the horizon he is braced for the challenge.

Sopher has also also noted the trend towards increased in transparency: ‘People are now having to deal with extra compliance issues, more disclosure for their company to their client base, and things like that.’ Offshore financial centres, meanwhile, are trying to compete to see who is ‘whiter than white’.
