My career began in the Channel Islands where I would walk tax returns over to client offices for signature. My tax journey has since led me to implementing multi-national control frameworks and advocating on tax policy to the UK, Canadian and Australian Treasury departments.

I advise across all areas of corporate tax, though the area I enjoy most is Tax Governance. I especially love helping adapt the requirements of the ever-increasing governance regimes to the needs of a particular business. This extends beyond helping with documentation to embedding the right behaviours and implementing the systems so things are operating as they should be.

I have worked in the Big 4 but also at two large tech groups as well as a fast-growing sports group. I have, therefore, lived the experience of clients. I understand the competing demands of balancing governance with day-to-day work and the inevitable firefighting! This drives how I like to work with clients, by providing advice that is grounded, practical and easy to implement.

Outside of work you will probably find me with my family or with my head buried in a good book. My absolute favourite is The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro as it’s the perfect reminder of what is most important.
