"To simplify complex situations for clients to enable them to make educated and well-informed decisions."
“Co-founding an SEIS and EIS-qualifying Brewery. It did involve tasting quite a lot more beer than most tax projects I get involved in. It definitely goes down as one of my favourites.”
“Joining Shipleys!”
"Building close and personal long-term relationships as the basis for practical advice and solutions that provide excellent value for money.”
Stephen retired from playing rugby for London Nigerians two years ago when his fourth child was born. Much of his spare time is taken up with his family, but when he does get a spare moment, he enjoys cooking, going to the gym, and snowboarding. He used to do some DJing at University and for a while afterwards, and hopes to start teaching his children how to do that. His wife isn’t so sure though.
