Private Client

Location: Covent Garden

I am proud of the collaborative team we have here – it enables both a great working environment and allows us to deliver a first-class client service

I am a Chartered Tax Advisor and joined Blick Rothenberg in August 2016. Just two years later I was promoted to partner. I have over 13 years’ experience as a personal tax advisor, specialising in advising private clients on their US/UK personal tax issues.

I understand how important it is to my clients to maximise and protect their personal wealth.

That is why I work with high net worth individuals, their families and trustees to help with a host of issues including structuring using trusts and transfer tax planning. I am also well versed in the application of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and the Common Reporting Standard to privately held entities and structures.

The work I do at Blick Rothenberg is incredibly fulfilling – I am able to work with a variety of clients and on a host of interesting cases for which I always strive to deliver excellent client service.

I am proud of the collaborative team we have here – it enables both a great working environment and allows us to deliver a first-class client service.
