Who am I?
I studied Law at university and decided to start a career in tax so I could continue to work with legislation and cases. I’m CTA qualified and have over 20 years’ experience of working with businesses and their owners.
When I’m at work
I enjoy working with business owners and other advisers on transactions – whether that’s providing sell-side advice or tax due diligence for acquirers. I also make sure business owners have the appropriate ownership structures in place to achieve their commercial and personal goals. I assist companies in making R&D and Patent Box relief claims. Both can provide extremely valuable savings or cash injections. It also gives me the chance to really understand what companies do. I have an enquiring mind, so this naturally appeals to me.
When I’m not at work
I like to read short stories, and occasionally try to write my own. I have too many vinyl records to count and enjoy listening to them with friends. Every now and then I threaten to ‘get back into running’.
