What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities in tax advisory, where I can apply my skills and continue learning.

I am an experienced tax professional currently pursuing studies to become a Chartered Tax Advisor. My career began in aerospace engineering, where I designed combustion engines for Boeing aircraft. However, while assisting my family with their tax returns, I discovered a passion for tax that led me to my first role in an SME accountancy practice. There, I developed my knowledge by completing client accounts and VAT returns, which solidified my decision to pursue a career in tax.

Currently, I work in tax compliance at Michael Dufty Partnership Ltd, where I manage various tax-related tasks, including filing Corporation Tax returns and advising clients on tax queries. My long-term goal is to transition into Tax Advisory, where I can leverage my experience to provide valuable and strategic tax advice. I am committed to completing my exams and gaining the necessary expertise to excel in this field.
