Born and bred in Normandy, Catherine studied for a degree in English at the university of Rouen, her native town prior to moving to Guernsey 30 years ago to teach French in two of the local secondary schools. Catherine joined the finance industry in 1989 and spent several years dealing with UK and Guernsey tax clients before deciding to work with Virginie Deflassieux ten years ago, allowing her to apply her experience in taxation, combined with her language skills, in the French tax department of PKF, now BDO Limited.
