Audit Senior

I like to provide solutions, to help expatriates progress with their lives and their careers without having any uncertainty about their tax position. I am happy that I get to resolve problems for so many people, and to resolve tax worries that needn’t have existed in the first place.

I am inspired by others who make a success from their opportunities to pursue an expat life. The Hodgens Global business was created in Scotland with the expats' needs for clarity and tax agent representation in mind. We now have a representative office in the UAE.

Hodgens Global represents an international client base providing tax advisory support, enabling them to be fully tax compliant, preparing and filing tax returns and advising on various taxation issues including capital gains, trusts and inheritance tax. We are client focused with a professional, international expat background. No matter where you are located, or the nature of your enquiry, you will receive courtesy, respect and swift professional assistance. 

Having been an expat for most of my career, I can relate to most of the concerns where people often need help.

Contributor

financial services company

After gaining experience & necessary qualifications I was promoted and asked to set up a new office for the company in Accra offering an independent and comprehensive range of savings pensions (QROPs) and investments to expatriate and international investors around the world. 
I provided proven or bespoke solutions and strategies to increase and protect client's personal wealth in an ever changing market.

Wealth Manager

deVere Group

I spent most of my time in the community, making face-to-face contacts in neighbourhoods and with businesses and individuals, introducing myself. I spent time getting to know my clients, their investment needs and their objectives. Then I delivered the appropriate investments and services on an individual and personal basis. Here I learned to understand that relationship building skills are crucial to establishing long-term clients.

Working autonomously from my branch office, it was my job to get to know individuals and their investment needs and objectives. Only after that, personal, one-to-one interaction and development of a comprehensive understanding of each individual's goals did I provide financial advice and recommend appropriate investments or services.

Consultant

I started in the industry as an assistant and was able to build a large client base very quickly and after 12 successful months I was promoted to a Financial Consultant and asked to move to Ghana to build and develop the office.
