About me

I am a Associate Tax Director at Wilson Partners with over 10 years experience advising companies on a wide range of tax matters. I am a Chartered Accountant and Chartered Tax Advisor and my specialisms include restructuring advice, employee ownership trusts, M&A and international tax advice.

I joined Wilson Partners in 2025 after seeing how passionate they are about looking after both their clients and team, and giving back to charitable causes. It feels great working for an employer that has such a positive impact.

I enjoy taking complex tax legislation and translating it into useable, clear tax advice to guide decision making, and helping clients understand how the ever-changing tax landscape applies to their business. I love building strong relationships with my clients and getting to know their businesses inside and out.

Outside of my day to day role, I am Chair of the CIOT/ATT Future of Tax Professionals committee, working to support the next generation of tax advisors in the first ten years of their careers. I also have a toddler at home who likes to keep me on my toes!
