Callum West

Senior manager, tax

Since joining PKF Francis Clark as a graduate trainee in 2016, following his accounting and finance degree from the University of Exeter, Callum has completed both his chartered accountant and chartered tax adviser qualifications with the firm.

Callum has developed experience leading multiple tax due diligence projects covering a range of industries and across multi-national groups. He has advised on minority investments and full buyouts alongside supporting clients with ongoing buy and build strategies. He is known for providing pragmatic, deal-specific advice tailored to each client’s unique requirements, ensuring transactions run smoothly and efficiently.

Outside of work, Callum is kept on his toes by his two young children and energetic Cocker Spaniel.

Callum's clients say

“Overall we were really pleased with the service and deliverables. We also really appreciated your specific patience with us guiding us through the process, given we had limited tax knowledge within our team (I now know far too much about tax returns than I ever imagined!). You also pointed out a lot of future/forward looking aspects that were much appreciated. Additionally, it was good having you as the bridge between us and the US team at times, it was initially difficult for us to get aligned with them but you did a great job bringing us all together to deliver on time.” Hamza Naseer, BibliU
“We are proud to have successfully completed the transaction with the support of PKF Francis Clark. Their excellent tax guidance proved instrumental in bringing this complex deal to a successful close” Project Orion
