Mr Vaux said:
“I’m excited to have joined Sedulo to be part of the next phase of the firm’s growth plans. I am looking forward to bringing my previous experience to bear, as Sedulo’s Corporate Tax and Tax Advisory offering continues to go from strength to strength.”
Sarah Richards, National Head of Tax at Sedulo Group added:
