Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you no longer give tax advice?

I became disillusioned with the process, the research and the environment in which I was required to provide tax advice. I wrote a detailed account of how and when I realised my disillusionment meant that I had to stop being a tax adviser. Taxation magazine published this as a lead article in July 2008. Both the editor and I received much in the way of supportive feedback from others who quite understood and wished they had the courage to do the same as I.

I blogged about the article in a post titled: Why I gave up giving tax advice.

A further summary appears on the ‘About Mark‘ page of this website.

Are you looking for a job?

Er, NO thank you.

My portfolio career has been full since I joined Winmark in May 2010. I am based there 3 days a week thus allowing time for my other business, writing and speaking activities.

I’m available for speaking engagements and writing assignments but that’s about it these days.
