Who am I?
I’m a Chartered Tax Advisor and Chartered Accountant with over 15 years’ experience in advising on a broad range of tax issues. Before joining Claritas, I worked for Big Four and boutique tax advisory firms specialising in mid-market clients, owner-managed businesses, entrepreneurs and family offices.
When I’m at work
I enjoy combining problem solving and technical skills to enable delivery of clear, practical tax advice and solutions that help clients achieve their commercial objectives. A lot of my time is spent advising on the tax implications of M&A transactions and restructuring – with privately owned businesses, this will often involve advising on personal and business tax matters and the interaction between them. As well as advising on transactional matters, I believe in developing close ongoing relationships with clients to understand their needs and to work with them on tax issues that arise throughout the business life cycle – this keeps me on my toes as you never know what question is coming next!
When I’m not at work
I have two young boys so family life is always very busy (and noisy!). We love travelling, being outdoors and exploring new places (also known as – dragging my children out on walks!). At home, I enjoy cooking, baking and trying anything a bit crafty – in the last couple of years I’ve taken up dressmaking. For something totally different but very rewarding, I am also a governor at my children’s lovely school.
