Martin Cole

Director | Private Clients

Martin joined PEM in 2026 as a Director in the Private Clients team, he has over 25 years’ experience advising individuals, families and entrepreneurs on their personal tax affairs and specialises in advising clients with complex financial affairs, often involving both UK and international tax considerations.

Martin’s areas of expertise include personal tax, tax residence and long-term UK residence, capital gains tax, inheritance tax and succession planning.

What Martin particularly enjoys most about his work is getting to know clients, understanding what matters to them and building relationships that last. Every client and family is different, and he believe good advice starts with listening, understanding the bigger picture and taking time to get to know the people behind the numbers.

He takes pride in making complex tax matters easier to understand by providing clear, practical advice that clients feel confident in. For Martin, being a good private client adviser is about combining technical knowledge and experience with a personal approach, accessibility and a genuine commitment to helping clients and their families.

Apart from spending time with friends and family, Martin enjoys cooking, motorsports, travelling and playing golf.
