Galloways Accounting
After a short stint at HMRC, David commenced his journey into Tax Advisory in 1988. He was lucky enough to have some great mentors along the way. The grounding given by having someone to talk to is what made David the advisor he is now. Someone who believes that the ability to listen is the single biggest and most important strength required to be a good leader and a good adviser. He always tries to be available to talk to team members, and to talk in terms of their personal growth and ambitions even if there is sometimes a clash with the firm. In that arena, I am a mentor, not a manager. Career wise, there have been some bumps along the way. Galloways were supportive when I needed support the most. Now the Tax Team is going from strength to strength with ambitious growth and recruitment plans.
