Accountancy firm DSG has prompted three people, two at its Liverpool city centre office and a third at its base in Ewloe

Liverpool accountancy firm DSG has announced three promotions at the practice.

Mark Kearsley, formerly corporate tax director at the firm, has been promoted to tax partner, Rob Hackney has been promoted to tax manager and David Pennant-Williams has been promoted to senior corporate business manager.

With more than a decade’s experience working at DSG, Mark has worked closely with the firm’s larger corporate clients and owner managed businesses, providing a range of tax advisory services.

He oversees the firm’s corporate tax advisory offering, including R&D tax advisory work and also advises on international aspects of corporate tax for both inbound and outbound international clients. 

Since joining DSG in February 2020, Rob’s focus has been on assisting clients with their compliance responsibilities as well as advising widely on corporate and other business taxation.

With extensive experience in working with both domestic and large multinational groups, he will have a key role in co-ordinating and overseeing services to DSG’s larger corporate clients and will also work closely with the corporate finance team on transaction tax matters.

David is based at DSG’s Ewloe office. His promotion will see him adopt an enhanced role within the firm’s corporate team where he will oversee the provision of both audit and non-audit services to Liverpool and North Wales clients.

Tony Bayliss, senior partner at DSG, said: “Our tax team has remained extremely busy over the last 12 months, despite the impact of COVID-19 on the broader business community.

“Mark’s elevation to partner is therefore well timed and I am also delighted to announce the well earned  promotions of both David and Rob. The continued investment in, and advancement of, our people is vital in ensuring we continue to provide our clients with the best advice and quality of service.”
