Chris Hadley
Head of Private Client Services
Chris is our head of Private Client Services. He is a qualified chartered accountant, chartered tax adviser and trust and estate practitioner.
Chris is also Chair of the Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire (BBH) branch of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP). His election in 2022 came just 10 years after winning STEP Diploma for Accountants & Tax Practitioners Student of the Year.
Chris has extensive experience advising high net worth clients, property investors and business owners and helping them to preserve their wealth.
“What I enjoy most about my work is getting to know clients, understanding what they need and establishing what is important to them,” said Chris. “There is a tremendous variety in what I do – and of course everyone is different – but I am typically providing guidance on three areas of tax: income tax, capital gains tax and inheritance tax.”
As well as assisting clients with all their tax planning and compliance needs, Chris has guided clients through the daunting process of HM Revenue & Customs investigations, including special compliance office investigations. “It can be a stressful time but it’s easier to face with Harwood Hutton in your corner.”
