Biography
I am one of the tax accountants here, within our Private Client team, in our Bishop’s Stortford office, aiding individuals, trustees, and executors with their UK tax affairs. This includes income and capital gains tax, inheritance tax, trust tax and tax planning.
I have been at Tees since 2016, joining as Business Support within the client services team, before having the opportunity to become a trainee later that year. I qualified in 2019, as a member of the Association of Taxation Technicians (ATT), a leading professional body for providing UK tax compliance services.
Delivering what you need
Tax, can at times, seem very daunting and arduous but our friendly and close-knit team will always be on hand to help you. We are available for home visits, telephone calls and meetings in the office.
We are committed to providing a high standard of client care, tailored to your specific needs whether that be a capital gains computation, self-assessment tax returns or completion of inheritance tax trust forms. We are always happy to help.
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.
