ABOUT JOHN MCGHEE

I have been a member of the Chartered Institute of Taxation since 1994 and in 2014 passed the Advanced Diploma in International Taxation. I am putting my skills to work with ForrestBrown who are an award-winning tax consultancy specialising in research and development tax credits (using the government R&D tax incentives to help innovative businesses grow). In my role I have witnessed the hugely positive impact that R&D tax credits can have on a business and hence helping my clients to grow their innovative businesses is a real passion. My key skills include the following; • Proven tax technical skills maintained through continued professional development. • A track record of building effective teams with everyone knowing what has to be done, when and how. • A self starter who initiates action through planning, prioritising and structured coordination. • An ability to combine analysis with an organised approach to reach conclusions on all tasks in an efficient and effective manner. • A preference for organising details into smooth operating systems which aids investigative abilities. • An ability to create methodologies that are practical and accountable and therefore demonstrate commercial awareness. • An ability to put matters into context which means that I can address tax risks robustly and proportionately. • Earned success by thoroughness, dependability and a professional approach.
