### My Specialist Knowledge

I started my tax career working for the Inland Revenue (as it was) but have been in private practice now for more than 30 years. I have particular interest and knowledge in domicile and residence issues, global mobility, as well as trusts and estates. I also deal with complex personal tax returns. I like to get to know my clients and build good relationships with them so that I can offer advice and information tailored specifically to their needs and circumstances.

I am an Associate member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) and have successfully sat their advanced level exams in Taxation of Trusts and Estates as well as UK Tax for International Clients.

### More About Me

Outside of the office I like to spend time with my family and friends as well as at the gym and walking. I love to travel and in the last few years I have been to Kenya and Cuba as well as a few places closer to home. I also volunteer for a national charity that provides tax assistance to older people who cannot access professional services due to restricted finances.
