Saffery Champness, the UK-based private client accountancy firm, has boosted its Scottish estate accountancy and tax team with the addition of Jamie Younger to the Edinburgh office as a partner.

In his new role Younger will work alongside Susie Swift and Max Floydd. Younger’s practice covers a variety of audit, business support and tax issues, while his client base includes both landed estates, independent schools and charities, in addition to private individuals.

In other recent hires at the firm, February saw the addition of three senior recruits to its family office team.

Lisa Vizia, Philip Radford, and Francoise Bougourd have also been brought in to focus on the Middle Eastern region in particular, all three joining from a bank-owned trust company.
