Further to completion of an MBS in Accounting, I trained with KPMG Dublin as a Chartered Accountant and Chartered Tax Adviser. I have broad tax international experience spanning numerous jurisdictions and tax heads and I specialise in Irish expatriate and Global Mobility taxes - both inbound and outbound. I focus on explaining cross-border tax issues simply to my clients, cutting through tax jargon and commercial complexities to deliver tax advice that adds value - in the form of cost savings and improved employee retention. I have a proven tax record designing and implementing processes to ensure Global Mobility programs address the key tax & social security tax issues for companies.I also have extensive experience advising both individuals and corporates on a range of issues including tax residency, the remittance basis of taxation, tax domicile, tax equalisation, hypothetical taxes and the interaction of Double Tax Agreements. My goal is to explain complex cross border tax issues in a friendly, no-nonsense and simple way to individuals and corporate clients alike. Complex advice, explained in a way that makes it easy to put into practice.I was recently named as one of the Top 75 female Irish entrepreneurs to watch in 2022 by thinkbusiness.ie.Founder of Expattaxes.ie - Experts in Expat Tax.
