Elliot Wright
Senior Accountant
Elliot Wright is a Senior Accountant at MM Business and Tax Consultancy, based in Canary Wharf, London, where he has been a key member of the firm since 2021. Known for his clarity of thought, technical precision, and approachable manner, Elliot specialises in tax and VAT advisory, helping businesses navigate complex regulatory landscapes with confidence and foresight.
Raised in Brighton, Surrey, Elliot developed an early appreciation for both structure and independence—qualities that would later define his professional style. Growing up in a coastal town with a strong entrepreneurial community, he was exposed to small business culture from a young age. Conversations around local trade, seasonal income, and financial resilience sparked his interest in how businesses operate behind the scenes, ultimately guiding him toward a career in accountancy.
Elliot pursued his academic training in accounting and finance in the South East of England before qualifying as a chartered accountant in his mid-twenties. He began his career at Hargreaves & Cole LLP, a respected regional firm, where he worked as a Junior Accountant focusing on compliance and statutory reporting. His aptitude for detail and client communication quickly earned him greater responsibility, and he progressed to an Associate role specialising in indirect tax.
He later joined Whitmore Tax Advisory in London, where he spent several formative years as a Tax Consultant. During this period, Elliot developed deep expertise in VAT planning, cross-border transactions, and HMRC investigations. He worked with a diverse portfolio of clients, from growing SMEs to established firms in retail, logistics, and professional services, advising on both strategic tax planning and risk management. His ability to translate complex tax legislation into clear, practical guidance became one of his defining strengths.
In 2021, Elliot joined MM Business and Tax Consultancy as a Senior Accountant, bringing with him a strong blend of technical expertise and client-focused advisory experience. At the firm’s Canary Wharf office, he plays a central role in delivering tailored tax and VAT solutions to a broad client base. His work includes overseeing compliance, advising on VAT efficiency structures, supporting business expansions, and guiding clients through regulatory changes with minimal disruption.
Elliot is particularly valued for his proactive approach—identifying opportunities for tax efficiency while ensuring full compliance with evolving legislation. He works closely with business owners and finance teams, often acting as a trusted advisor rather than simply a service provider. His contributions have strengthened the firm’s reputation for delivering practical, forward-thinking financial guidance in a highly competitive market.
Alongside his accounting career, Elliot is also an established part-time journalist, writing on tax and VAT matters for several online business publications, including World Business News, Financial Trading News, The UK Business Ledger, Finance Insight Weekly, and SME Tax Review. His articles are known for their clarity and relevance, breaking down complex policy changes into accessible insights for business owners and professionals alike. This dual role keeps him closely attuned to industry developments and reinforces his commitment to continuous learning.
Outside of his professional life, Elliot maintains a strong connection to the outdoors. He is an avid fisherman, often returning to the south coast for golf trips during the summer months. These pursuits reflect his patient, methodical nature and provide a valuable counterbalance to the pace of city life.
Elliot Wright brings together technical excellence, practical insight, and genuine approachability in his work. Whether advising on intricate VAT matters or contributing thought leadership through his writing, he remains focused on helping clients make informed, confident decisions. His career reflects a consistent commitment to professionalism, integrity, and the belief that good financial guidance should be both precise and accessible.
