Who am I?

I haven’t worked that out yet, much too complicated! However, I’ve been working with clients helping them with their tax affairs for over 20 years. I spent my first seven years in a Big Four firm before venturing out into the big wide world to gain more experience in winning work, building teams, and continuing to build client relationships. That’s how I ended up helping to establish Claritas as the business it is today. I’m a fixer; if there’s a problem to solve, I can’t resist.

When I’m at work

As well as advising on the many and varied aspects of corporate and business taxes, I spend a significant part of my time advising on R&D tax relief, the team that I lead. I most enjoy getting to know the businesses that my clients’ run and the people themselves; I’ve always relished being able to help people. This also spills into my other roles in the office as a development coach, heading up our graduate program.
I also manage how we best utilise the latest technology to help us to perform our work better.

When I’m not at work

Family time is everything to me, spending time with my son (who is a Ballroom and Latin dancer, musician, Youtuber, teenager!), daughter (artist, dancer, little madam who isn’t a teenager yet but acts like one), and my wonderful wife (who I’ve been learning to Ballroom and Latin dance with and also compete at a regional and national level). I also enjoy learning about the fundamentals of the internal combustion engine or dismantling parts of one of our cars – in an effort to fix it. I can’t resist fixing things and I love technology.
