We’re pleased to share two partner appointments that strengthen Pilot’s service offerings.

Terence Brueton joined Pilot as Partner in our Corporate Advisory team on 1 June 2026, and Tom Howard has been promoted to Partner in our Taxation Advisory team, effective 1 July 2026.

Terence brings more than 20 years’ audit and assurance experience, with a strong focus on delivering high‑quality statutory audits, financial reporting and regulatory compliance outcomes for clients. Terence also helps clients use audit insights to better understand risk, strengthen governance and support informed decision‑making. His appointment enhances Pilot’s ability to deliver robust, integrated, end‑to‑end advice across audit, risk and broader corporate advisory services.

Managing Partner Murray Howlett said Terence’s appointment reflects Pilot’s continued investment in leadership and capability to meet evolving client expectations.

“In our experience, clients are increasingly looking for advice that goes beyond compliance,” Murray said.

“Terence brings deep audit and assurance expertise, combined with a practical understanding of business risk, governance and strategy. That strengthens our ability to deliver more integrated, end‑to‑end support to clients.”

Terence works closely with clients to understand their operations and strategic objectives, identifying opportunities where Pilot can support them across risk advisory, internal audit, governance and broader Corporate Advisory services.

Tom’s promotion to Partner recognises his significant contribution to the firm over the past 10 years with Pilot’s Taxation Advisory team. During this time, Tom has built a strong reputation for providing his clients with clarity and opportunities in the complex world of taxation. His expertise spans from corporate tax, to complex trust, estate and international tax matters. Tom has become a trusted adviser and has formed solid relationships with his clients.

Known for his technical expertise and client focused approach, Tom works closely with clients to navigate increasingly complex tax environments, frequently collaborating with colleagues across the firm to ensure advice is aligned with clients’ broader commercial and personal objectives.

Murray said Tom’s appointment reflects both his technical capability and the important role he has played in strengthening Pilot’s tax offering in key growth areas.

Together, these appointments demonstrate Pilot’s ongoing investment in leadership and capability across its core services, ensuring we are well placed to support our clients with high‑quality and forward‑looking advice.

Please join us in congratulating Terence and Tom.
