Paul Taiano

Paul joined Nyman Libson Paul as a trainee in 1978, qualified in 1981 and was promoted to partner in 1986. The majority of his client base is connected with the entertainment industry including theatre, film and television. His particular expertise is with the film and theatre industries where clients range from the commercial sector, including theatre owners and managers and film and theatre production companies through to charitable organisations and the regulatory sector including employer associations. The services provided to these entities vary from production accounting, audit and tax compliance to advising on financial development, structuring acquisitions and tax planning.

As a result of his professional expertise and in-depth knowledge of the theatre industry, in 1997 Paul was asked to join the Board of Governors of the Central School of Speech and Drama and in 2005 was appointed Chairman. Central is a federal college of the University of London and is an international centre of excellence based in London, providing quality higher education in, and training for, the dramatic arts and the performance and media industries.

Other voluntary interests include acting as a non-executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of Huntingdon Steeplechases Limited which owns and operates the National Hunt racetrack at Huntingdon. National hunt horse racing is his lifelong passion but unfortunately his riding career was brought to an abrupt end following a fall in March 2005 when he suffered a broken neck resulting in tetraplegia paralysis and is now confined to a wheelchair. However, despite his disabilities Paul has continued to fulfil work and voluntary commitments.
