Michael Budden

Chartered Tax Adviser | Solicitor (Non-Practising) | CTA LLB (Hons)

I bring a wealth of expertise in tax and estate planning, having worked in a Big 4 accounting firm and private banking before establishing Tax Steps. I started my professional life as a private client lawyer. I also worked in professional education for many years.

Outside of work, my interests are sport (especially rugby union and cricket), music and travel. I enjoy playing golf (badly), playing poker (worse than golf) and cooking (even worse than poker).
