Crowe Horwath adds to tax advisory and corporate finance teams



Crowe Horwath has bolstered its tax advisory and corporate finance teams with the appointment of Chris Leach, Sam Neale and Darryl Norville.
Leach will take on the role of principal and Neale has been appointed associate principal of the tax advisory team in Sydney. Meanwhile, Norville joins the company's corporate finance practice in Perth as principal.
Commenting on their appointments, Crowe Horwath Sydney chief executive Darren O'Brien said that Leach and Neale have extensive experience, particularly in the energy and resources sectors. He said that with their appointments the tax advisory team in Sydney now has a total of four new principals.
Before joining Crowe Horwath, Leach and Neale advised medium-to-large companies on investment structures, transactions and implementations, as well as the government's recent mining and carbon taxes.
Norville has considerable industry experience, including over eight years spent as a director of a transaction advisory practice of a major accounting firm. Before that he was a derivatives trader for 10 years in several global investment banks in the UK.
"Darryl's industry experience gives him an extremely practical and client-centric perspective on transaction advice," said Crowe Horwath Perth chief executive Geoff Kidd.
