Paul Ayres

Spear’s Review

Paul Ayres, the national head of private client services for BDO, advises clients on all aspects of their tax affairs. This can include overseeing tax filing in the UK and abroad, guiding clients through estate planning matters and generally ensuring they optimise their tax position. 

His clients are mainly entrepreneurs who approach him for assurance on their tax obligations; for example, domicile and residence issues and real estate transactions in London.

He takes a ‘collaborative approach’ when working with his clients’ advisers, ‘while always recognising that ultimately I am advising the client on what is best for them’. 

Ayres’ main goal is to deliver a coherent strategy to help his sophisticated clientele balance their complex affairs and ‘achieve their long-term personal and business goals’.
