An independent tax advisory firm has announced the opening of a new office in Bristol.
Claritas Tax, which has offices across the UK, said the new opening followed the doubling in size of the business in the last two years. Alongside the Bristol office, Claritas will also open a new Glasgow branch.
The new offices coincide with the appointment of two new partners at the firm. Stuart Brodie will lead the Glasgow office, wile Rob Brown will lead the Bristol office. The tax specialist hopes the new office will "further bolster" the firm's position as the UK's "leading independent tax advisory practice".

Our office in Glasgow is in George Square in the heart of the business district and will enable us to provide fantastic advice to businesses and their owners in Glasgow and the surrounding areas, as well as across the central belt of Scotland to Edinburgh.
“Meanwhile, our Bristol office, based in Temple Quay, will allow us to serve clients across the dynamic economies of South West England and South Wales This is an extremely exciting time for Claritas, as we embark on the natural next stage of our growth plans and a real kick-start to the new year.”
Matt Hodgson, partner and head of the Manchester office added: “It’s been an incredibly busy 12 months for the firm and the opening of these two offices in prime city centre locations will help us to capitalise on that. We are so proud of the team and what Claritas has built to date.
“The recruitment of both Stuart and Rob who are both well-known and respected in their local markets, as well as the opening of these offices, is an incredibly exciting start to 2024, and with plenty more in the pipeline. “
