Making the right move
When his parents brought him on holiday to England aged 11, American born Steven Wright declared then and there he would one day return and work in London. Over the past eighteen years Steven has been working and studying in America to make his dream come true!
Now as a qualified CPA (Certified Public Accountant), Steven has joined Warrener Stewart’s US tax department where he is looking forward to helping both British and American clients with their US tax filing requirements.
“The very first time I came to the UK I begged my parents to leave me here – thankfully they encouraged me to return home and take a more conventional route so that I could return,” confesses Steven.
Back home in Nashville Steven studied for a degree in Business Administration, Accounting and Finance at Lipscomb University. Whilst studying for his degree he also worked as a bank teller for a local bank, Sun Trust before completing his Masters in Accounting. As part of his Masters Steven completed two internships; one as a tax advisor for a large independent accounting firm, KraftCPA. Whilst the second was spent learning about corporation tax working for the retail giant Genesco.
Commenting upon the appointment, head of US tax, Damian Talbot said; “Having an American CPA based with us in our London offices is a rarity, he can help and advice US expats with their US tax filings. Being able to offer this service face to face is a welcome addition to our busy and growing US tax department.”
