Fiona is a tax specialist with extensive experience advising on various aspects of tax relating to businesses, including Corporation Tax, Capital Allowances, employee taxes, SDLT and VAT.

She is qualified as both a Chartered Accountant and a Chartered Tax Advisor, having trained with one of the international firms of Chartered Accountants. Whilst in practice her clients were both listed and privately owned companies, and she spent two years seconded to a Government department where she advised ministers and senior civil servants on corporate tax.
