Spear’s Review

‘My job is to protect your wealth, from when you start to make the money to your exit retirement strategy,’ Akin Coker, tax partner and head of private client at Buzzacott, tells Spear’s.

‘Tax efficiency is a big part of that. Obviously, the more you can keep and not pay out in tax, the better off you’ll be. But also, what do you want to do with that money at different stages in your life? The sort of risks you will take will also vary. We will do as much or as little as a family wants us to. For some people, we do pretty much everything.’

Coker and his team provide tax planning and structuring advice to individuals, trusts, estates and family offices.
