I work with businesses to provide tax advice to the owners and the companies as required. This includes working with the finance team to understand the wider group strategies so that we can help plan these in a tax efficient manner. More than tax work, we look to build a relationship with our clients and support them on tax matters as they require alongside submitting the company tax returns.

My dad was a chartered accountant and whilst selecting my A-levels, I had the option to choose accounting as a subject. I didn’t want to follow the medical route and so I decided that A-level Maths and Accounting would be a reasonable option. This is how I fell into accounting. After a year in audit, I decided to move into business tax and that was that.

I have experience supporting clients to tidy up group structures and reducing the number of companies a group may have. For businesses, this helps to reduce the administrative burden and also helps to save costs. From a tax perspective, this involves understanding the ownership of the companies and to achieve a commercially suitable outcome for the group in the most tax efficient manner.

Top of my bucket list is to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Since we got married, my husband and I have wanted to do this. As part of this, I want to go back to Tanzania where I lived in my childhood days. With young kids in our lives at the moment, hopefully, this is something we can plan in a few years’ time.
