In 1989 Tim joined HMRC, working in an import entry section, giving him knowledge of imports and exports. When he left HMRC he was a VAT inspector, having worked in the cash teams, investigation teams and the large trader section.

He left HMRC and joined a large North East accountancy firm where he developed his skills gained with HMRC. He has worked in the accountancy world since 1996.

Prior to starting his own company he was the VAT director of a top 40 firm of accountants looking after 12 offices. Tim has a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the complexities of VAT.

Tim understands the pressures that HMRC can impress upon any business. He has experience of having worked for HMRC and can therefore better understand the mind-set of a VAT inspector and be able to anticipate the approach by HMRC and answer the question before the officer asks the question.
