Corban joined Fiscale in August 2019, having attended Northfleet Technology College, where he completed A levels in Business, Sport and Finance in May 2018.

Having previously worked for Vanquis Bank LTD, in their late stage collections department for loans and credit cards, Corban joined Fiscale with an ambition of working within the tax and accounting industry.

Following a successful start, he is currently working towards his Associations of Taxation Technicians (ATT) qualification, with the aim of moving on to Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA) in the future.

Tilly completed her A Levels in History, Biology and Sociology at Fort Pitt Grammar School in Chatham and joined Fiscale in September 2018, under the apprenticeship scheme. Tilly is continuing her education studying for the Association of Tax Technicians (ATT) Level 4 qualification.

Tilly decided to pursue a career in R&D tax credit as she felt that it would be very rewarding to help companies gain funds to further their investment in R&D. Tilly believed that life in an R&D tax credit consultancy would not be as mundane as working in an accountancy practice! She finds that R&D is always new and exciting and allows her to be constantly learning new things.

The aspect of her work that Tilly likes the most is that each client is different so the job never gets boring. Tilly loves meeting new people and learning what our clients do, especially as many of the companies we work with are at the forefront of their industry. Tilly enjoys seeing how R&D tax credits can allow companies to develop and grow.

Jessica lives in Rainham. On leaving school she completed a Hairdressing Apprenticeship. After taking a career break to have her children Jessica decided to pursue a career in Accountancy. Her ambition was fuelled when her husband qualified as an accountant and she thought his work looked interesting.

Jessica decided to study for her Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) Level 2 Certificate in Accounting qualification at college and really enjoyed the course. She wanted to demonstrate to her two young daughters that they can become anything they want to if they put their minds to it. Jessica is a firm believer that you get out of life what you put into it.

When the opportunity arose to join Fiscale as a Claims Administrator in September 2018 this seemed like a natural career progression for Jessica. Jessica was very keen to continue with her accounting qualifications and is now studying for the Association of Tax Technicians (ATT) Level 4 qualification.

Jessica enjoys interacting with different people and different companies and learning something new within the world of research and development every day. She likes working with the rest of the team at the Kent office.

Outside of work Jessica loves spending time with her family and her five Dogue de Bordeaux’s, which she breeds and shows.
