I have been practising tax for over 24 years across in Auckland, Sydney, Perth and Brisbane (since 2011). My experience spans a wide spectrum of international and Australasian organisations, including within agriculture, financial services, retail, consumer markets, life sciences, technology, services, industrials, health, education, property, energy and natural resources industries. These range from major corporations, multinationals to small-medium family businesses.

My areas of expertise include helping clients address tax issues relating to the sale and purchase of businesses, tax structuring, capital management, ATO engagement, tax planning as well as identifying tax-efficient inbound and outbound investment structures and financing.
