Innovation and R&D Tax Incentives

Executive summary

I am a Corporate Tax Partner in the South East Region at BDO.

I specialise in tax relief for innovation, including R&D tax credits, Patent Box and Creative Industry Tax Reliefs, which allows me to add huge value to clients in securing tax relief and cash flow benefits.

In addition to this specialist area, I maintain a broader corporate portfolio supporting clients on a wide range of tax matters, including tax compliance and governance, transactions, structuring and overseas expansion.

I always aim to get a deep understanding of my clients’ businesses, goals and vision, together with building strong and lasting working relationships. This provides me with the platform to ensure that I can provide tax advice that adds value and introduce them to the right BDO contact where wider support is needed.

Given my involvement with innovative clients, I am lucky enough to work across many sectors, seeing up close the work of people that are changing the world for the better. Knowing that I can use my specialism to help these companies fund future projects gives me a huge sense of professional achievement.

Outside of work, family, sport and hobbies allow me to unwind. I am a qualified rugby coach and a lifelong car enthusiast. I currently coach and play at Sutton & Epsom RFC, together with being a member of the Goodwood Road Racing Club.
