Eliza is a first class Accountant and extremely knowledgeable of overseas expatriate tax rules. I was working in London then had to move to work overseas in the middle of 2016. The firm I was using in London were simply not up to understanding the intricacies of overseas tax rules, and Eliza was recommended to me by an expatriate colleague. Since then I have not looked back. She is always available for a chat and very quick to reply to queries when required. Overall, excellent! And I couldn’t recommend anyone more if you are working overseas.
