Grant Thornton expands Brisbane tax with new appointment
Grant Thornton has appointed Matthew Lane as a corporate tax partner at its Brisbane office in Australia.
Lane brings more than 20 years of experience in corporate tax advisory, having worked in-house, as an external consultant, and at two Big Four professional services firms.
Lane's specialist experience in the financial services industry includes leadership roles in the tax and finance teams of a 'large' Australian superannuation fund, the professional services provider said.
His expertise spans superannuation, insurance, funds management, and banking.
Additionally, Lane has knowledge of tax matters related to financing arrangements, thin capitalisation, capital management, global tax compliance, and tax governance reviews.
Lane's proficiency extends to providing transactional tax support, including tax due diligence, restructuring, and both domestic and international tax structuring advice.
He also offers other M&A advisory services, catering to a clientele, including corporate groups, investment funds, and high-net-worth family offices.
Grant Thornton head of tax in Brisbane Tim Hands said: 'Matt's business acumen, alongside his broad tax and financial services industry expertise and ability to navigate complex tax landscapes is a welcome addition to our team and will complement our already extensive client service offering.'
Grant Thornton partner of corporate tax Matthew Lane said: 'I am excited to be joining Grant Thornton's Brisbane tax team and bring my specialist experience to add value to clients.
'I am particularly passionate about financial services and the future of fintech so it's pleasing to be able to apply my experience in a corporate tax setting. There's so much potential for change and growth in the Brisbane Fintech market and I am eager to have the opportunity to see the industry change and grow.'
