Thames Valley accountants James Cowper has been named as one of the top 25 accountancy firms in the UK for providing advice to wealthy families and individuals.

The firm’s Private Client team, led by partner Ian Miles, has been identified as a Top 25 accountancy firm by the influential trade magazine Private Client Practitioner in its March edition.

The magazine says of James Cowper’s Private Client team: “The firm has specialist expertise in farming, bloodstock and equestrian businesses, the taxation of non-domiciles through to guiding technology company entrepreneurs into the future.”

Ian Miles, partner and head of James Cowper’s 40 strong Private Client team, said: “The tax framework for high net worth individuals is complex, even more so if an individual is a resident or domiciled in another country, and getting the right advice is critical.

“At James Cowper we have put together a fantastic team with vast experience spread across our five offices in Oxford, Newbury, Reading, Henley and Southampton. Recognition in Private Client Practitioner proves that James Cowper offers the service of a big four, but not with the price tag. The experience and knowledge we have will remind our clients that we constantly offer the best possible advice.”

Private Client Practitioner is a monthly magazine read by the wealth management community around the world. The Top 25 accountancy firms report is part of a series of reports where the magazine identifies the top 25 law firms, financial advisers and trust companies.
