Private Client Services

Executive summary

I lead our Global Private Client Services Centre of Excellence, working with colleagues around the world to support our international client base. I joined the firm in 2000 and have built extensive experience working with both onshore and offshore structures.

I'm a member of the Chartered Institute of Taxation and STEP. My client base is varied and includes entrepreneurs, offshore fiduciaries and both UK-based and international families. I advise on a wide range of private client tax matters, from overseeing UK and international tax filings to providing estate planning advice and helping clients optimise their overall tax position, often in collaboration with our global network.

I take a collaborative approach, working closely with other advisers while always keeping the client's best interests at the centre of everything I do. I was recognised by Spear's Magazine as Private Client Accountant of the Year 2024 in the wealth management industry.
