About
I am a chartered tax advisor (CTA) but started my working life as a freelance musician. I originally trained as a classical musician, studying at the Royal College of Music and the National Opera Studio before becoming an accountant and tax advisor. I then joined the Royal Opera House as Financial Controller for the Orchestra, before setting up my own tax and accountancy practice.
I am a member of the Chartered Institute of Taxation (CIOT) and a fellow member of the Association of Accounting technicians (FMAAT).
A tax expert who truly understands the music industry and the needs of musicians!
