Meet The Team
About me:
I started my career with a local firm of accountants that gave me a great understanding of business and the tax system. I commenced my studies with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants at the age of seventeen and by the time I turned 21 I felt ready to set up my own practice.
In February 2003 I opened my first office, trading as MSB Accountants and Tax Advisors, in Benfleet. In the same year I qualified with the Institute of Financial Accountants, with whom I am now a Fellow.
Over the past twenty years or so, MSB has flourished into a regional firm of advisors with multiple offices.
In the year 2021 I oversaw a Management Buy Out of several MSB Branches. This has allowed me to dedicate more of my time to the Rayleigh office and its diverse spectrum of clients, which I find extremely rewarding.
I have personally been heavily involved in various property developments over many years and this is a key area of taxation that I specialise in, together with other areas of tax such as the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS), Research & Development (R&D), and Capital Gains.
Away from work, I enjoy spending time with my wonderful family, Lyndsey my wife and my two daughters, Lucy and Lydia. I enjoy a game of golf (when the sun is shining) and there is no place I’d rather be than in the waves on the North Cornish Coast!
