How did you end up in tax?
I applied to the civil service when I graduated. The Inland Revenue chose me for their fast stream programme and gave me three years of fantastic training. It was a great place to work and I would have loved to have stayed but newly married and living in the London commuter belt I could only fund a mortgage by moving to KPMG.
What are you working on at the moment?

What's the key concern that you currently face in your role as a tax director?
