About me

As a self-confessed tax geek I love having a chat about tax and understanding clients and their needs. If I don’t know the answer, I’m sure I will know someone who will!

I am a Tax Director at Wilson Partners. I joined the company in May 2023, having trained at a Big 4 accounting firm, and gaining invaluable experience and knowledge at a Top 15 firm.

I focus predominantly on Private Client Tax, working with ultra-high net worth individuals to small sole traders or property investors alike. I advise mainly on Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax, Stamp Duty Land Tax and Inheritance Tax, with my ultimate goal being to help my clients understand their tax positions, and any planning that can be implemented to mitigate their tax exposure.

I assist the team with the complex personal/Trust/Estate tax compliance, but mostly I’m focused on advisory work, and usually in the Inheritance Tax, Trusts, and Estates arena.

I joined Wilson Partners because of their truly collaborative culture and approach – the people are fantastic, and their ambitious growth plans are really exciting. I look forward to being a part of that growth.
