Brief CV

Education: Cambridge University

1986: Joined Dixon Wilson

1989: Qualified as Chartered Accountant

1995: Appointed partner

1999: Qualified as Expert Comptable

I act for a broad range of clients in France and also provide UK and French tax advice and compliance services for a large number of non-resident trusts.

 
I joined Dixon Wilson in 1986. Having spent two years in Paris from 1989, I went back to our Paris office in 1997.
 
Being based outside the UK and having a multi-jurisdictional practice provides many professional challenges, both practical and technical, and gives a particular insight. That experience, and commitment to client care, combine to make a success of our office in Paris.
 
My clients include:

• family trusts holding substantial landed estates;
• sportsmen, artistes and models with French activities;
• individuals and their businesses in need of assistance for business/asset structuring, tax compliance and tax audits.
