Redcliffe Training’s CGT course is delivered by a Chartered Accountant who qualified with PwC in 1988, spending his last 18 months in their Corporate Tax department.

In 1989 he joined a leading financial training company as a tax tutor, teaching final level candidates for the ICAEW and ACCA examinations. Since 1992, he has been self-employed as a Professional Tutor and Training Consultant, specialising in tax update courses for accountants, lawyers and investment managers.

Our capital gains tax course expert has been teaching in the financial services industry since 1994. Although he concentrates on the professional development market these days, he is very experienced in teaching stock brokers, fund managers and financial advisors for their various regulatory examinations.

As a result, he is a tax specialist with a very (unusually) rounded knowledge of financial services products and markets. In 2012 this led to him undertaking Gapfill courses for the CISI.

He is a regular contributor to Tax Insider magazine and speaks at regional conferences of the ICAEW and CIOT.
