About Charles

I joined SRLV over a decade ago, having spent many years as a Partner at Deloitte. I have substantial experience in the music, entertainment and sports industries, and offer comprehensive financial advice and support to a range of both individual and corporate clients.

As a consultant since 1 January 2026, I provide support where needed for SRLV’s extensive portfolio of UK and international music performers and writers, sports professionals, including footballers, golfers, cyclists and managers, alongside sports management agencies. As many sportspeople go on to enjoy successful ventures in other related industries, such as sports management, coaching, television presenting, hospitality and retail, we advise on all the potential business opportunities as their careers evolve.

Our clients lead fast-paced lives with a multitude of day-to-day and longer-term concerns, so regardless of whether I’m advising on corporate or private client tax, UK or international tax and the complexities of tour accounting, we are here to pre-empt potential issues and ensure clients are best-placed to protect their interests now and for the future. With a multi-disciplinary team of experts to call on, someone will always know the answer, no matter how complex the question.

I’m proud to have been named as one of Billboard’s Top Business Managers in 2025, 2024 and 2023 – an influential list which highlights the work of leading advisors within the music industry.

Outside work, I’m a member of the UNICEF music group and I also enjoy the challenge of regular fundraising bike rides with The Truants Foundation. Funds go to charities including Teenage Cancer Trust, Nordoff & Robbins and NSPCC Childline. You can read more here.

The variety of issues that arise, combined with the complexities of taxation, especially in the international arena, means there are always new challenges to solve for clients.
