Maclan Shiron

Driven, adaptable, and client-focused — I bring hands-on experience in both UK and US personal tax compliance, with a strong track record of delivering accurate, timely results. I've prepared a wide range of UK self-assessment returns, resolved HMRC queries, and supported clients with complex residence and domicile issues. On the US side, I've handled Form 1040 filings, FBARs, and international reporting for dual residents and US citizens abroad.

Backed by my ATT studies and a proactive mindset, I'm ready to add immediate value to a dynamic tax team and grow within a forward-thinking firm.
