Peter Winter

Partner, Outsourcing

Peter supports and advises some of the firm’s largest clients, helping them to achieve their ambitions – from growth strategies, profit maximisation and new ventures, to restructuring and disposals. Peter’s approach is pragmatic, personal and hands on, attributes which are enjoyed by both his colleagues and clients.

Peter has been integral to our growth and that, in February 2023, we were named as the top 25 mid-sized firm to work for in the UK by ‘Best Companies’ survey.

Peter has a wealth of experience advising UK subsidiaries of international businesses – specifically in reporting and tax planning matters – but also in resolving the cultural differences that may arise for internationally operating clients.

Peter chaired DFK UK & Ireland up until October 2021 and sat on the DFK International board. He currently sits on the DFK UK & Ireland board working closely with member firms in the UK and all over the world. Crucially, Peter ensures that our international clients are fully supported wherever they wish to do business.
