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.
