Life before ETC Tax

Vincent previously worked in the Tax Dispute Resolution team at a top 10 accountancy practice where he specialised in assisting professional sports men and women with HMRC enquiries.  He has also worked for another local firm of tax advisers where he was responsible for overseeing their tax compliance function.

Why a career in tax?

I think I was always destined for a career in tax having spent 2 weeks doing work experience at a local tax office as a schoolboy.  My first real job after school was as an office junior for a small local accountancy firm who must have seen something in me that I didn’t know at the time was even there, they looked after me and gave me the opportunity to help their overworked tax manager and the rest is history.

My best (and worst) bits

Being able to cut through the detail, recognising what the real issues are and being able to find a practical solution to the problem.  I take pride in being personable which means I can relate to my clients, and they appreciate that they can talk to me honestly.

Three words to describe ETC
