Our team

Hi, I’m Chris, I specialise in advising on strategic and commercial issues. I focus on transaction work and regularly assist with business acquisitions and disposals. I also lead Praxis Audit, providing statutory audit services to a varied client base including international groups. Outside of work, I enjoy all things sport (Arsenal in particular), technology, and travel. Contact Chris

Hi, I’m Pete. I lead the Tax Team at Praxis. I focus on tax planning and structuring covering matters such as mergers and demergers, acquisitions and sales, remuneration planning, share schemes and valuations, partnership taxation, and wills and probate. I have also written a book for Bloomsbury, which probably explains why my wife calls me a tax geek! Outside of work, I enjoy golf, cycling, NFL and building the latest Lego release with my son. Contact Pete

Hi, I’m Alex. I work closely with owner managed businesses advising on commercial and accounting issues. I specialise in professional practices and design businesses with a particular focus on sucession planning and international expansion. Outside of accounting I enjoy spending time with my young family, cooking and tending to my wine cellar. Before I was an accountant I owned a bar and could imagine myself growing grapes in France or Greece. Contact Alex

Hi, I’m Niki. I lead the audit team at Praxis and manage the development of the team. I’m a people person at heart, this job suits me well as I get to build client relationships and work with peers across all service lines. I’m organised and enjoy problem solving, so audit fits! I balance being a professional and a suburban Surrey mum of two. In another life, I’d open up a coffee shop and become a life coach! Contact Niki

Hi, I’m Ginny. I am responsible for the administration for our amazing tax team. When I am not busy at work, or parenting three teenagers, I love to either be outdoors hiking  with my husband and finding beautiful views to photograph (because the teenagers won’t let me take pictures of them anymore!), or inside reading a good book, baking or spending time with all my family.

Hi, I’m Dan. I work in the tax team at Praxis, assisting Ayesha and Pete with our firm’s private client tax services.

I’ve built those skills into my role, preparing your tax return with precision and maximising tax efficiency. I also enjoy travel, weightlifting, and playing video games in my free time.

Hi I’m Toni-rose. I am an audit and accounts senior here at Praxis. I play a key role in delivering high-quality audits and producing accounts.

If I weren’t an accountant, I’d be pursuing a career as a columnist or a lawyer—fully embracing my Elle Woods dream.
