Her work includes document scoping, privilege review, chronology and coordination with specialist tax advisers where substantive tax advice is required. Civil enquiries, information notices and criminal investigations are treated as distinct processes.
Helen helps clients provide an accurate, proportionate response while keeping related fraud, recovery and reporting issues visible. Her role does not include tax-return preparation, and the outcome or duration of an enquiry cannot be predicted.
