Paola Gecaj

Digital Enabler

I look after a mixed portfolio of clients and provide advisory work to them.

• Client onboarding and providing training on the digital conversion tools
• Plan and manage assignments ensuring these are completed to high standards
• Prepare, review, and manage complex Vat returns.
• Liaise and negotiate with HMRC on behalf of clients

How I have helped clients: As the primary point of contact for existing and new clients on VAT and digital transformation, I educate clients on using digital tools and support them throughout the digital journey. I also help clients meet compliance obligations and statutory deadlines while working closely with them to understand and implement planning strategies consistent with their strategic business goals. In addition to that, I effectively implement new actions and procedures with clients in line with VAT laws.

Fun fact: I enjoy spending time with my kids, listening to music, and being involved with my local community.
