Tom May
Manager
I joined Ellacotts in December 2022 as a part-qualified Semi Senior Accountant in the Agriculture and Property department at the Banbury Office. Before that, I worked in another practice where I managed my own portfolio of clients and began studying towards my ACA and CTA qualifications, successfully completing my BFP designation.
Since joining Ellacotts, I qualified as both a Chartered Accountant and a Chartered Tax Adviser in 2023. I was promoted to Qualified Accounts Senior, progressed to Assistant Manager in 2024, and became a Manager in 2025.
I work with a wide range of clients, including sole traders, partnerships, trusts, and limited companies. I particularly enjoy collaborating closely with clients to tailor solutions that help them achieve their goals. I have a strong passion for tax and take pride in developing bespoke strategies that support our clients’ success.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my young family. I also enjoy spending some time on the golf course!
