Meet The Team
Nigel Wordingham

It was 1987 when Nigel decided to establish his own practice after many years of finance and accounting experience. Qualifying in 1978, he went on to join the Institute of Taxation while working for a local firm, before taking up a position at Ernst and Young, where he became head of the Norwich tax department.
Since going it alone Nigel has steadily grown the practice ever since and these days brings his considerably experience and expertise to overseeing the output of his highly-skilled team.
When he's not hard at work Nigel is an avid and award winning sailor, as well as Treasurer of the Norwich Rotary Club.
