Stacey Sturgess

Hi, I’m Stacey, and I’ve been working for Magenta since October 2012. I work on a part-time basis
following a career break to have my son Thomas. I’ve since had another little boy, Ethan, and on
returning to work in December 2014, I’ve taken on the role of Tax Manager working on clients
personal tax returns, and one-off personal tax situations. I really enjoy personal tax, as this is the
area in which I concentrated my earlier professional training.

Prior to working at Magenta, I worked as a personal tax advisor at Tenon and then at Deloitte
Southampton, gaining a qualification as a Chartered Tax Advisor, and then worked as an
Accountancy Assistant at the University of Southampton, where I continued my Accountancy
examinations following on from my Accountancy degree.

Over the last couple of years at Magenta I have now completed this qualification, and will shortly have my professional records signed off when I will become a Certified Accountant also.

I love to read, watch films and go walking with my family. Our favourite place to do this is the Gower peninsular in Wales, where we love taking family holidays in the seaside town of Mumbles. My sons get particularly excited when we visit the ‘musements’.

Over the last couple of years, looking after my two boys, increasing my working hours, and finishing my Accountancy exams, I’ve also managed to squeeze in getting married to my long-term fiancé Jamie in October 2017.

With my youngest just starting school in Sept 2018, I’m looking forward to having a little bit of time to engage in some craft projects I’ve been meaning to start for some time.
