Business Tax Partner

Expertise

Biography

Having gained significant experience and my Chartered Tax Adviser qualification whilst working for a top ten accountancy firm, I joined James Cowper Kreston in 2011 and was proud to become a partner in the business tax team in 2016. 

My primary responsibilities are the delivery of both specialist tax advice and intelligent tax compliance services, alongside which I also enjoy the varied aspects of working in a collegiate partnership to contribute to the running and development of the firm.

I work with a diverse range of companies and their owners, for whom I take pride in seeking to deliver real tax efficiencies based on robust and pragmatic advice. I have particular expertise in the areas of corporate transactions (including tax due diligence), R&D tax credits and regularly advise on business succession and wealth planning.

Recent strategic projects include the demerger and subsequent partial management buyout of a successful family trading company, restructuring of a property group with both UK and overseas entities, incentivisation of staff through share options and the tax efficient structuring of several family investment companies.
