About Jake Hodgson

Jake is a Tax Director in the North West corporate tax team and has a focus on the private equity market. He works with both private equity funds advising on tax structuring of new investments and wider transaction tax matters, and medium and large businesses on their corporate tax position. The majority of Jake’s client portfolio is made up of businesses that are private equity backed, looking for new investment or moving towards an exit event.

Jake joined RSM’s corporate tax team in 2014 after graduating from university and qualified as a Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA) in 2017. Jake has worked with medium to large business including multinationals across a range of sectors. For a large part of his career Jake has focused on advising private equity funds and the portfolio businesses they invest in.

"I’m passionate about supporting clients in fast-paced environments. Being able to offer effective, commercial and timely tax advice to management teams as the business changes and grows in a short space of time is what I enjoy most about my role."

Jake loves travelling to new places with his fiancée, family or friends; and has been fortunate enough to have visited over 35 countries. The best part of travelling somewhere new is an excuse to try the local food and drink as well as experience different cultures from around the world. Jake and his fiancée recently became pet parents to a kitten called Mila who they adopted from a local rescue centre. Jake is also an avid sports fan and amateur footballer.
