What led you to pursue a career in your current role, and how did you get started in the field?
I always loved problem solving and applying my logical approach to difficult circumstances. Coupled with my strong numerical skills, tax seemed to totally fit the bill and I started my career to train as a tax adviser. My current role includes plenty of that, but a much wider commercial approach to supporting clients with their challenges and planning.
What do you enjoy most about your job, and what do you find most challenging?
Making a difference every day, both for the benefit of our clients or our team. Every day is different and every day I can support someone to take a step forward.
What do you believe are the most important qualities for success in your current role, and how do you strive to embody those qualities in your work?
Being able to understand the priorities of each client, their approach, requirements and pain points helps me to provide a commercial solution that is exactly what the client is looking for. That means as well as knowing my field, I have to get on with clients, build relationships for life and support them to also determine what is most important to them.
