Further Aberdeen hire for Deloitte

The Herald:

DELOITTE has strengthened its Aberdeen practice with the appointment of Caroline Muir to lead its business tax team.
Ms Muir, previously a tax director in the firm’s Edinburgh office, has almost two decades’ experience in advising a host of family-owned and private equity-backed businesses on their tax strategies. 
Starting her career with the firm in 2002 after training with Andersen, Caroline re-joined Deloitte in January 2016 after a period with Johnston Carmichael - latterly as deputy head of tax. 
She will lead a team of 12 tax specialists and play a significant role in boosting Aberdeen’s position within Deloitte’s North West Europe firm. 
Her move to the Granite City also follows the recent appointment of Graham Hollis as senior partner in the office, as Deloitte continues to invest in its Aberdeen team.  
Ms Muir said: “Despite the challenging times Aberdeen has faced over the last three years, a degree of optimism is returning to the city."
