Bob is a tax partner with MHA MacIntyre Hudson and is deeply involved in tax training. However, he is not just a trainer as he has remained involved in client facing matters so he has seen the risk from the tax engagement grow over the years. He has a wide range of tax knowledge and has been lecturing on a range of tax related subjects for over 25 years including the PII aspects. He has found that tax has become ten times as complex since he started lecturing.
