Biography
I am one of the accountants in our Bishop’s Stortford office where I specialise in assisting individuals, trustees and executors with their accounting and UK tax compliance responsibilities. My expertise includes offering guidance and support in reporting Income tax, Capital gains tax and Inheritance tax.
For the past century, Tees has been actively involved in trust management, we cater to the needs of over 450 trusts, alongside our personal tax clients and executors, by providing comprehensive tax and accounting services.
Delivering what you need
Navigating through the various rules and obligations relating to taxes can be complex and time-consuming, and the nature of tax is that the rules frequently change. With our specialist knowledge, we can help by providing as much or as little assistance as you require so that your mind can be at ease when utilising our services, whatever your circumstances.
We provide a range of taxation services for individuals and those who are acting in their capacity as an executor or trustee. Taxation services we provide include UK tax returns, Capital gains tax computations and returns, and tax planning.
The tax team is a close-knit team, meaning that another member of the team will be available to speak to you, should your usual point of contact be unavailable.
Expertise

I've never found an area where Tees have been unable to help. There is considerable strength across the organisation. Individuals have good contacts outside of their practice area. I have always found Tees accessible and helpful.
