About

I am a Senior Manager in the Business Tax team at Menzies. I manage a portfolio mainly comprised of our larger corporate and international groups, as well as supporting our up and coming members of the team and giving them the skills needed to progress in their career.

I enjoy helping my clients navigate the complexities of the UK tax system and demonstrating to them how the benefits of maintaining compliance with key areas can set up their business for future success and improve its value in the long-term. This is so important when business owners will one day need to realise their exit strategy. Such areas of focus include but are not limited to the Corporate Interest Restriction, Senior Accounting Officer rules, Controlled Foreign Company rules and quarterly instalments.

I have been fortunate enough to have some great experiences in my career but my proudest is the ongoing support I have been able to give to one of our construction groups. When I first started acting for them 10 years ago, they were a group with around 20 companies and fairly straight forward tax affairs. They are now a large group with turnover well over £750m and overseas subsidiaries and Menzies is the third firm where we have worked together; demonstrating the value of building and maintaining a strong relationship with clients.

When I am not running around after my two young daughters, I like to run and support Woking Football Club where I am a season ticket holder. If I am lucky, I try to play a bit of cricket in the summer too!

If you require assistance with any complex corporation tax matters, please feel free to get in touch with me and I’ll be happy to help.
