Building a better working world

For me, building a better working world means helping clients to interpret and apply the tax law correctly. As a professional experienced in tax, I offer advice on the correct interpretation and application of the tax law.

Where ambiguities or multiple interpretations exist within these laws, I believe that guiding the most appropriate course of action with reference to past precedent and legislative intent benefits society.

I make recommendations for reforms to taxation systems if those systems produce unintended consequences.
