Who I work with
Sole traders, partnerships, landlords, tradespeople, consultants, contractors and limited companies are all welcome here. Alongside that I have built extra depth in media, entertainment and sport.
The everyday work
Whether you trade as a sole trader, a partnership or a limited company, the questions are the same: what to take out, what to reinvest, when to hire, and what the next structural decision should be. Planned together rather than reported separately.
Income that arrives in bursts, across employment and self-employment, often across borders and often within a short earning window. It needs planning that works across tax years, not a set of accounts written once the year is already gone.
Sectors
Every sector has its own traps, reliefs and rhythms. These are the ones I work with regularly, so the advice comes from experience rather than a search after the fact.
Production companies, actors, writers, directors, crew, musicians and creators. Lumpy income, mixed PAYE and self-employment, loan-out structures and expenses that get questioned.
Consultants, solicitors, architects, marketing and recruitment firms. Usually people-heavy, profitable and paying more tax than they need to because nobody planned ahead.
Electricians, plumbers, builders, joiners and subcontractors. CIS, vans, tools, materials and site costs handled properly — and refunds chased rather than left sitting.
Software firms, agencies and freelance developers. Fast-moving, often part-remote, often paid from abroad — with reliefs that regularly go unclaimed.
Portfolio landlords, developers and holding companies. The structure you hold property in drives the tax bill more than anything else you do.
Shops, online sellers and multi-channel brands. Marketplace fees, stock and VAT schemes that quietly erode margin if nobody is watching them.
Restaurants, cafés, bars and mobile traders. Thin margins, heavy payroll and tips — where weekly numbers matter far more than an annual set of accounts.
Locums, dentists, therapists and private clinics. Usually a mix of NHS, private and self-employed income that needs one coherent tax plan.
Players, coaches, officials, agents and clubs. Short earning windows, image rights, sponsorship and prize money — with career length that changes what good planning looks like.
Your sector not listed?
My clients run everything from one-person trades to established companies. If you want an adviser you can actually reach, the sector matters far less than the relationship.
