His combined personal and professional background means he is ideally positioned to provide the specialist tax advice for both in-bound and out-bound taxation matters in Singapore. This includes expat employees and company founders entering Singapore.

He obtained a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of New South Wales, a Master of Commerce from Macquarie University and is a Chartered Tax Advisor through the Tax Institute of Australia.

It’s very important for me to understand my client’s personal circumstances before I provide advice. By building a personal relationship with my client, I can ensure that I provide a bespoke solution that meets their needs.
