Andrew is a Chartered Tax Adviser, and works as an Assistant Tax and Trust Manager in the Private Client department. He is involved in the management and administration of family trusts, and of individuals’ personal tax affairs.
He assists both UK-resident and non-UK resident trustees and individuals with the efficient management of their tax affairs, from landed estates down to individuals with much simpler affairs. He is also responsible for the management of several of the firm’s grant-making charity clients.
When undertaking his CTA qualification between 2023 and 2026, Andrew specialised in the taxation of individuals (income tax and capital gains), and in inheritance tax, trusts, and estates. He offers this deep understanding – combined with an efficient practice and personable and jovial manner – to a diverse range of individual and trust clients.
He has a particular speciality in applying reliefs to capital gains, having saved several clients unnecessarily large capital gains tax liabilities on the disposal of UK property.
In 2025, he undertook a forensic review of a series of intertwined investment portfolios on behalf of the firm’s Contentious Trusts department and compiled a report which exemplified the firm’s capacity to assist trustees with meeting their compliance and governance obligations.
Andrew enjoyed a career in the charity sector before joining Payne Hicks Beach in 2023.
He holds a prize-winning Masters of Research (MRes) degree in history from King’s College London.
