About

I am qualified as both ACA chartered accountant and CTA chartered tax advisor, which allows me to provide well rounded advice considering both accounting and taxation aspects of a transaction.

My particular areas of expertise include; transactional tax work including reorganisations and business sales, valuations, employee share incentives (including the EMI scheme), and property tax.  In addition to providing general advice I take instruction for expert witness assignments for both matrimonial and shareholder disputes.

I present complex tax information in an easy-to-understand format, helping clients fully understand their position and make informed decisions.

I enjoy working at Ballards because it's a growing firm with an enthusiastic and friendly workforce, which creates the ideal environment to deliver quality tax advice. 

Outside work, I enjoy rugby and cricket.

I offer comprehensive advice that integrates both accounting and taxation perspectives. I specialise in translating complex tax matters into clear, practical insights, empowering clients to fully understand their position.
