Catherine Sinclair

Formed in Dunfermline in 1996, M&S’s ability to provide high quality expertise and advice at an affordable cost, all underpinned by exceptional customer service, have been the major factors in our success.

That success is, of course, dependent on a combination of our clients’ own success plus our ability to create business advantage and add value for them. We do this in a number of ways: by working in partnership; by making the complex simple and by taking a proactive approach to account management, whilst also communicating regularly to keep clients up-to-date with changes to tax and financial regulations.

Work is frequently referred from other accountancy and legal firms to obtain access to the specialist tax services that M&S Accountancy and Taxation offer.

Our success and longevity are also firmly rooted in M&S being home to, arguably, Fife’s most highly-qualified tax professionals, with expertise in delivering integrated UK and US tax advice. And, to back it all up, we use innovative, cloud-based technologies to augment this depth and breadth of experience. M&S provides comprehensive accountancy and taxation services to a wide range of SMEs, and also to much larger clients from Scotland and around the world.

Much of Catherine’s work involves advising clients on both UK and US tax matters, putting to good use her experience with Ernst & Young and time spent working for a boutique firm of Chartered Accountants. Catherine has vast experience of managing the tax affairs of employees on international assignments and has also undertaken brief secondments to London and Frankfurt. A BSc Hons in Mathematics, she is a member of the Association of Tax Technicians and is also an IRS Enrolled Agent.

Catherine is significantly involved in delivering M&S’s extensive consultancy offerings and carries out a variety of tax planning and consultancy work on a range of UK and overseas tax issues. These clients include high net worth individuals, family companies and large corporations.
