About David

Outside of work, David can usually be found exploring the countryside with his wife and their two German Shepherds. He is an avid motorcyclist, a cricket enthusiast, and a lifelong music fan with broad tastes - from classic rock to classical.

“I believe great tax advice starts with listening - understanding a client’s objectives and motivations, then working collaboratively to find solutions that are commercially viable and achieve the right outcome. A good adviser should provide clear recommendations and make complex issues easy to understand. That’s what I aim to do in every piece of work.”
