Russell Bedford builds on European presence with new correspondent in Slovakia

LONDON - July 26, 2013 - PRLog -- Global accounting and tax services group Russell Bedford continues to build its market presence in Europe with the appointment of its first correspondent firm in Bratislava, Slovakia.

Founded in 2003 by managing partner Ivan Kamhal, a member of the Slovak Chamber of Tax Advisors and formerly a tax partner in a second-tier accounting group, the firm operates through two distinct entities.  Kamhal Tax k.s. advises some of Slovakia’s most significant companies on their tax planning and compliance, while APES Consulting s.r.o. provides a supporting range of accounting and management consulting services.

The managing partner is assisted by a team of professional and administrative staff.

Ivan Kamhal commented: “Kamhal Tax k.s. has a proven reputation as a leading tax advisor to many of Slovakia’s most important domestic companies and subsidiaries of foreign entities, and I look forward to extending that expertise and experience to Russell Bedford’s multinational clients – and other in-bound investors – in their operations here.”
