Growing the team
A 15+ member VAT team, ~10 counselees, and a Staff-to-Manager arc of six promotions in ten years.

Context
Delivery at this scale is a people problem before it is a tax problem. Sixty-plus returns a month don't get filed by heroics — they get filed by a team that knows what good looks like.
What I did
I manage a 15+ member VAT compliance team across return preparation, review, sign-off and filing, and personally counsel around 10 professionals on their careers.
I also own the engagement's financial machinery: purchase orders, invoice tracking, internal costing, and the management reporting trackers that keep leadership honest about where the hours go.
Impact
A team that delivers every month — and a personal track record of six promotions from Staff (2015) to Manager (2021, with grade advancements in 2021, 2023 and 2025). I grew here, and I grow people here.
