Gurminder Singh

Ambitious tax professional with broad UK tax experience across corporate, personal, and indirect taxes, currently operating at an advanced compliance level within practice. Proven ability to manage complex client portfolios, handle HMRC enquiries and disclosures, and support junior staff development. I bring strong technical knowledge combined with a commercial and client-focused approach, and I am now seeking to progress into a Senior Tax role within a top firm.

I am particularly interested in developing my advisory capability alongside compliance, and would like to pursue the CTA qualification to support this progression.
