Intuit hires Williams as chief tax officer

David Williams has become chief tax officer of Intuit, the US business and financial management solutions company for corporations and individuals. He will be responsible for the company’s tax strategy, including implementing programmes supporting the Affordable Care Act and tax system implications of pending immigration reform proposals.

Williams will also be the executive director of the American Tax & Financial Center at TurboTax, which provides data and insights on tax and personal finance trends.
