He is the head of our technical committee with overall responsibility for quality control on audits and is also our Charities Specialist Partner. In his role, he works closely with charity trustees and management to help them to meet their charitable objectives and provides practical help and advice to that end. Tony also acts as a Trustee of two Surrey charities, so he understands the needs and concerns of Trustees from both sides.

Work highlights

• Assisted a client with a major restructuring that involved the merger of two complimentary IT businesses, including aspects of taxation advice for the company, its directors and shareholders.
• Worked closely with a client’s Finance Director and finance team to help to resolve a major trade dispute with its parent company overseas. Following meetings with representatives of the overseas entity and its auditors, resulted in significant claims against our client being dropped.
• Helped a charity client to streamline its reporting procedures from its numerous autonomous branches located around the UK, resulting in greater management and Trustee control over its financial and general operations.

Tony’s interests include most sports, especially cricket, plus the theatre and helping local restaurants through a difficult trading period!
