I manage the corporate tax compliance process, working closely with the audit and accounts teams to provide tax disclosures for inclusion in the accounts at the audit provision stage. After the statutory accounts are finalised, I then work on the completion of tax returns, preparing them for submission to HMRC.
I have a wide range of experience working with various sectors and sizes of business, from owner-managed businesses to PLCs.
Experience counts
I started my career in a mid-tier accountancy firm in 1989, working in the audit and accounts team where I completed my AAT and ACCA qualifications and qualified as an ACCA accountant in 1999.
Prior to working at PKF Smith Cooper, I worked for several companies including Phones 4u Group and Highways England (now National Highways) before working in a corporate tax compliance team at a Big 4 firm.
Deeper knowledge
As I have worked in the industry in mixed tax roles, I have a wide understanding of taxes other than corporate tax. I have previously managed VAT compliance and employer tax compliance in specific areas such as P11Ds and PAYE Settlement Agreements. Additionally, I have dealt with HMRC corporate tax and VAT enquiries and managed the SAO process and compliance.
Personally speaking
Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, walking my dog, reading, running and very occasionally roller skating with my daughters!
