Very unlikely that a tax professional will be an expert in both.  Most US tax CPAs who deal with international tax law as it relates to the US will know US tax law very well and just enough about other countries' tax laws to be dangerous.

If you find someone who is an expert in both, be prepared for an (appropriately) high bill rate that will reflect the time and effort it's taken that person to get to that level.  I'd expect four figures per hour...

Most taxpayers would have a US tax professional and a UK tax professional work together as advisors to get the holistic optimal strategy.
