Tax Manager

What's Your Role At The Company, and What Do You Enjoy Most About It?

My name is Lenka Torok, I am mum of two beautiful daughters. My role at HQ is to provide financial and tax advice to both our personal and corporate customers, ensuring they maximise profit, minimise expenses and are compliant when submitting their tax returns.  I am a qualified accountant with 18 years’ experience. I am passionate about advising people and helping them navigate their way through their financial and tax affairs, which for many can be an extremely daunting experience.
 
However, I must be honest, and admit that despite growing up in north Slovakia, studying in Sydney, Australia and now living in Surrey, UK I am still yet to master the Liverpool accent. 

What's a fun fact about yourself that your colleagues might not know?

At the beginning of my career, I did some work experience at a magistrates court which involved going into prisons to take statements from defendants. Another fun fact is that I once met a black bear when holidaying in the Canadian Rockies – he was very rude though and when I waved at him, he didn’t wave back!

What is your most memorable project?

I enjoy most of the projects I’ve been involved in because preparing tax returns and sorting financial matters is like doing a jigsaw puzzle and collecting up all the missing pieces.

Outside of work, what are your hobbies or interests?

I used to be a junior professional cross-country skier, so I absolutely love skiing and all outdoor activities such as walking, climbing and open water swimming.

What's a piece of advice or motto you live by, both personally and professionally?

No matter how difficult the problem, there is always a solution!

Fail to plan, plan to fail – while juggling work, exams and life it is imperative that I plan and have structure in everything I do, both personally and professionally in order to succeed. I am also an advocate for the saying ‘life is too short’ – if you want to do something, just go and do it.
