At WTS NOBISFIELDS, I manage corporate tax reporting, tax health checks, Ghana Revenue Authority audits, client financial statements, and payroll. I help clients file returns on time, resolve tax disputes, obtain tax clearance certificates, and proactively manage taxpayer portal issues.

I've built over thirteen years of tax experience across KPMG, Lima Partners, Veritas Associates, and WTS NOBISFIELDS, advising multinational and local clients on corporate income tax, VAT, withholding tax, transfer pricing, and tax planning. I have reduced client liabilities from desk audit assessments by more than fifty per cent on average and was recognized by ITR World Tax in General Corporate Tax Reporting in 2024.
