Adam Flight

Adam Flight is known for his positive and approachable manner. He has a passion for all things related to payroll and HR and will go above and beyond to ensure that clients understand things in the clearest and simplest way to help resolve their query. He always finds time to talk to anyone who needs him – be that a client, a member of his team or a colleague in the wider Moore Global network.

Adam’s main career background is HR, having worked within the industry for more than 20 years. He uses his knowledge and experience whenever a client or member of his team has a query that only he can assist with.

Adam is one of the twelve founding members of the Payroll Bureau Association, which was set up just weeks before the first Coronavirus lockdown happened in March 2020. It was through this group and his network that he was able to support and assist not only his clients but also others within the payroll industry during this difficult time.

Well-known and respected within the industry, Adam is often asked to speak at events and take part in roundtable discussions where his knowledge and expertise can be put to good use to educate and help others.

In his spare time, he plays golf (including being captain for his local club). He uses this to his advantage by getting involved in organised or charitable golf days that he is invited to attend and enjoys representing the firm on such occasions.

John Williams

John Williams works in the employment tax team providing compliance and advisory services, with a focus on the employment tax implications resulting from the rapidly changing working landscape, and increasingly the fundamental need for businesses to recruit and retain key talent. This includes advising employers on the application of the ‘off payroll’ working rules, and the use of contractors, as well as international working arrangements.

John’s expertise spans a broad range of sectors including finance, technology, media, and manufacturing. This gives his clients an advantage when it comes to identifying how employment tax and social security rules can impact sectors in different ways. His experience allows him to recognise important areas of risk specific to his clients and offer solutions in line with their individual requirements.

Working closely with small start-ups, public sector organisations and larger corporates, John is well versed in advising finance and HR professionals as well as individuals and is renowned for his supportive approach sensitive to the concerns of clients dealing with employee issues.

John prides himself on getting to know his clients’ businesses and organisations inside out to give him the holistic understanding required for high-level advice and translating complex tax and social security terminology into practical and easy-to-follow guidance.

Having spent most of his career in top 10 accountancy firms, John worked for a number of years advising on personal tax before specialising in employment and expatriate tax, giving him the advantageous ability to advise from the perspective of both the employer and the employee.

John is an active voice in the conversation around developments in tax legislation as a member of the Confederation of British Industry Employment Taxes Working Group, and the HM Revenue and Custom Expatriate Taxes Forum, giving him first-hand insight as to the impact on various business sectors.
