Director, Tax

I have 22 years of experience providing Australian tax advisory services.

I have advised a broad range of clients, including local developers and construction groups, property trusts and investors, financial institutions, pension and sovereign funds, state and federal governments, and not-for-profit organisations.

I am also a mergers and acquisitions and transaction specialist, with extensive experience advising on complex mergers, acquisitions, corporate reorganisations, and fundraising activities. I have significant capital markets experience, including advising on initial public offerings.

I hosted our JobKeeper update webinars throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

My experience includes:

  • delivering international tax structuring solutions for inbound and outbound investors
  • providing strategic tax advice and due diligence for Australian and international acquisitions
  • advising Australian companies investing in Asia on optimal structures, profit repatriation, and exit strategies
  • assisting clients with Australian Taxation Office risk reviews and audits
  • applying to the Australian Taxation Office for private binding rulings on complex matters
  • advising clients on complex tax consolidation, anti-avoidance, and tax loss recoupment measures.
