As a Private Client Partner, Sarah helps high net worth individuals manage complex tax affairs with confidence. From residence and domicile planning to inheritance tax, trusts and estate planning, she provides clear, practical advice to help clients protect their wealth and plan effectively for the future.
Hi, I’m Sarah, a Tax Partner in the Private Client team based in our Exeter office.
I’ve been with the firm for just over 13 years, and one of the most rewarding parts of my role is seeing clients leave our conversations feeling more confident about their next steps.
Tax is an ever-changing landscape, and one of the things I really love about it is the variety. No two days are ever quite the same.
I work with individuals on all aspects of personal tax, and one area I particularly enjoy is building long-term relationships with clients and their families. Establishing that trust is incredibly important, as it helps me understand their needs and provide advice that’s tailored to their circumstances.
I also work with many internationally mobile clients, advising those who are leaving the UK or moving to the UK, as well as helping them navigate the new and often complex rules surrounding the Foreign Income and Gains (FIG) regime.
Tax can be complicated and, at times, confusing. I take particular pride in breaking down complex issues into clear, practical advice that’s easier for clients to understand and act upon.
Outside of work, I enjoy functional fitness and running, so much so that I built my own gym. I also love travelling and reading a good psychological thriller with plenty of twists. At the end of the week, you’ll often find me socialising with friends and enjoying a glass of wine.
If you’re looking for clear, practical advice tailored to your personal circumstances, please get in touch. I’d be happy to have a chat.
