Founder

Alistair Marriott

Alistair, the Founder of Blackden Consulting, has spent most of his life as an expat resident in Geneva and understands the complexities of US tax professionals relocating for work.

In early 2018, he founded Blackden Consulting after identifying an unmet need to connect US tax professionals with consultancies and in-house firms across Europe.

Leveraging his deep expertise in the US tax industry, Alistair has built strong relationships with key decision-makers at Big 4 firms, boutique CPA firms, tax advisory practices, and accounting companies of all sizes.

Sophia Hartmann

I specialise in recruiting US tax professionals for leading financial services tax practices across New York, the Cayman Islands, and Bermuda.

Working with top 10 public accounting firms, hedge funds, and family offices, I help Enrolled Agents and CPAs secure career-defining opportunities within hedge fund, private equity, and broader financial services tax teams.

My focus is on building long-term relationships and connecting high-performing tax professionals with firms operating at the highest level of the market.
