Who is Andy Wood?
Andy joined the bar in 2019 after learning his ‘trade’ in large, international accountancy firms including the Big 4.
Over a decade ago (2011 to be precise), hoping that some of the magic dust from these entrepreneurial clients had rubbed off on him, he established his own tax advisory business.
His clients, as well as the aforementioned entrepreneurs, also include high-net-worth individuals, sports persons and entertainers and private companies.
Following his call, Andy hopes that he can bring his own commercial experience, and strong problem-solving skills, to advising his clients at the bar.
He believes passionately that all clients should get clear and decisive advice that should be delivered in plain English.
He is a member of the Chartered Institute of Taxation and the Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners (“STEP”).
Having grown up in Castleford, West Yorkshire, Andy has rugby league in his DNA. He is also a Yorkshire cricket fan and long-suffering Everton supporter.
His guitar playing ambition exceeds his proficiency.
