Sam qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1973… before most people were born! He went on to be appointed a partner in a West End Chartered Accountancy practice and was in that position until 1976 specialising in management consultancy and personal taxation. Sam subsequently transferred into commerce where he remained for 27 years as CEO of a trading company. He returned to the Accountancy practice in 2003 and joined the team in 2004. Since this time, Sam has researched and specialised in the accounting treatment for and the taxation of contractors operating through their own limited companies.
