Sarah is the National Indirect Tax and Customs leader for Deloitte China and acts as the global advisory partner for some of Deloitte's most strategic accounts. Sarah was based in Shanghai but relocated to Hong Kong in June 2012 to also take the role of tax managing partner of the Hong Kong & Southern China practice.

Sarah began her career as an inspector with HM Revenue & Customs in the UK before moving into consultancy in 1993. She spent seven years in the UK primarily advising the government and on international restructuring, working mainly with Swiss -headquartered companies. In 2000, she was seconded to Zurich to build and lead an international centre of excellence before building and heading an indirect tax and Customs team in Switzerland.

Sarah is a member of the Steering Committee of Deloitte's Global VAT and Customs group. Sarah is a chartered tax adviser and a member of the Chartered Institute of Taxation of England and Wales.

Sarah was recognised by International Tax Review in its Indirect Tax Leaders guide in 2012 and again in 2013. She was also mentioned in ITR's World Tax 2014 as one of the leading tax advisers in the jurisdiction.

Sarah spends much of her time working with headquarters on implementing new business models in China, advising on their supply chain and risk management. For over 15 years, Sarah has continued to act as the lead VAT and Customs adviser for a household-name fast -moving consumer business, based in Switzerland.
