Simon Groom

President of the ATT, Senior Tutor, Tolley

Biography:

During a long career, mainly spent training students for the ATT and CTA examinations, Simon has played a small role in starting the careers of many a tax professional. During the last 17 years at Tolley he has spent most of that time leading the Tax Examinations business but has now relinquished that position to return to presenting courses again.

Prior to joining Tolley he spent time as a student at Arthur Young (now EY) where he qualified as a Chartered Accountant, and Financial Training (now Kaplan) where he discovered a love of all things tax, which made studying and passing the ATII (now CTA) exams that little bit easier. He returned to EY in 2000, to work in their National Tax Training Team before joining Tolley in 2006.

Simon joined the Association of Taxation Technicians (ATT) Council in 2018 and is currently the Association’s President. He also serves on their Finance Steering Group, as well as a number of working parties.
