20 years spent getting to know personal tax.
I’m a Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA), a member of the Chartered Institute of Taxation. I’ve specialised in personal tax for 20 years, advising individuals, business owners, investors, and professional advisers on UK tax matters.
Over the course of my career I’ve worked across a broad range of tax areas, but my passion has always been personal tax.
I am particularly fond of meeting a client over a coffee and really getting to understand their affairs. After all, personal tax is personal — and I enjoy being able to give that personal touch.
