Rachel, who is based at our Biggleswade office, joined George Hay in March 2020 as a Tax Assistant.
She was good with numbers at school and enjoyed maths, prompting her to pursue a career in accountancy. Rachel is AAT and ATT qualified, and she is now looking to gain her CTA qualification, having developed a preference for taxation as her career has progressed.
Prior to joining us, Rachel had worked for both larger and smaller firms supporting businesses with year-end accounts, corporation tax returns, VAT and management accounts, and undertaking some personal tax work.
Now a member of our tax department, she will assist with the provision of tax compliance services for private clients, including the preparation of tax returns and calculating liabilities for Income Tax, National Insurance and Capital Gains Tax.
In her spare time, Rachel enjoys going to the gym and keeping fit, as well as spending time with family and friends.
Unfortunately, our Biggleswade office was affected by a fire overnight.
As a result, the Biggleswade office will remain closed for the rest of this week while we assess the damage and begin the recovery process.
We would like to reassure all of our clients that no client files or important documents have been damaged. The fire has affected the office building and furniture, but your records remain safe and secure.
Our other offices remain open and operating as normal. Following earlier issues, our phone lines are now operational. Calls to our Biggleswade office are being diverted to our open sites and the team are taking messages where necessary. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience in the coming days.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to the Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service for their swift, professional, and dedicated response. Most importantly, we are incredibly grateful that no one was injured.
Thank you for your understanding, patience, and continued support during this time. We will keep you updated as further information becomes available.
