  • Strong personal tax technical expertise
  • Excellent relationship management and communication skills (written and verbal)
  • Confident negotiator who can articulate and sustain well-reasoned opinions
  • Proven business development skills — able to identify and convert opportunities into work
  • Effective time and project management; able to meet deadlines under pressure
  • Experience advising a range of clients, including AIM-listed, PE-backed, family-owned, and OMB businesses
