John Mills, Senior Tax Advisor at Evolution Capital
Tax advisory Financial structuring M&A Regulatory expertise

John brings more than four decades of experience to the decisions that shape a transaction: how it is structured, where the risks sit and how value is protected.

He has held multiple Chief Financial Officer and Chief Risk Officer roles, senior board appointments and the position of CEO at an international private equity firm. His remit has spanned tax, treasury, financing, capital structure and regulatory compliance.

A specialist in financial structuring, John has developed tax-structured investment products and advised on acquisitions, disposals, restructurings and capital raising. His regulatory expertise includes IFRS, Solvency II and MiFID, alongside CFO responsibilities under the SMF2 designation.

At Evolution Capital, he brings that executive perspective to specialist tax advice—connecting the technical detail with the commercial decisions behind a deal.

The announcement

John Mills joins Evolution Capital.
A broader view of every deal.

Evolution Capital has appointed John Mills as Senior Tax Advisor, bringing specialist tax expertise alongside Financial Due Diligence and EC Analytics.

The appointment strengthens our Transaction Services offering for technology businesses, investors and acquirers. It brings financial performance, tax exposure and deal structure into a more connected assessment.

See the implications earlier

Tax can change the economics of a deal—from historic liabilities and financing arrangements to acquisition structure and shareholder returns. Understanding those implications early helps clients assess risk and make informed decisions.

John’s appointment brings that expertise closer to the financial diligence and corporate finance work already supporting our clients.

“Our FDD and Analytics capabilities allow us to examine the financial performance of a business in considerable detail. Bringing specialist tax expertise into that process means we can provide a more complete assessment of the risks and considerations that influence a transaction.”

Sam Godfrey Transaction Services Director, Evolution Capital

Experience that connects the detail

John has advised more than 500 clients across the UK, Europe, GCC and US. His combination of tax, financial structuring and executive leadership brings a practical understanding of the decisions buyers, sellers and management teams face.

For Evolution Capital, it is the next step in an advisory offering built around more than 25 years of experience across technology, IT and telecoms.

“Tax is fundamental to transaction structure, risk and value. Bringing that capability into our team is a natural and important progression.”

Nigel Cook CEO and Lead Dealmaker, Evolution Capital
