How Mike is building a better working world

“Within tax, it is all too easy to become focussed on one particular problem with the consequence that you lose sight of the bigger picture.

I work with my colleagues in the EY organisation to help businesses gain a broad understanding of recent developments, so that they can both pay the right amount of tax at the right time and report on their tax position. In this way I help business meet their commitment to all their stakeholders, including customers, suppliers, investors and employees. At the same time, I look to share experiences related to the tax, legal and governance challenges that businesses face as they plan their transition to a more sustainable operating model, turning their climate ambitions into climate actions.”
