Senior advice from the people who deliver it.
Mountain Path Consulting is an advisory practice in Ordino, Andorra, working across enterprise technology and UK indirect tax. We take on problems that need judgement rather than headcount, and the person you brief is the person who does the work.

What we do
Two fields, one practice. Clients come to us with a problem that has outgrown whoever was holding it.
Technology
Enterprise IT architecture, endpoint governance and the infrastructure underneath. We are called in when a device estate has outgrown the way it is run. Platform decisions that cannot be unwound cheaply, compliance evidence that has to survive an auditor rather than a screenshot, identity that was bolted on and now holds everything together.
The same discipline now covers AI tooling, which tends to arrive inside an organisation faster than anyone governs it. Knowing what is running, on whose account and what it can reach is an infrastructure question before it is a policy one.

Indirect tax
UK VAT advisory, and the commercial questions that come with it. The work is position and methodology: partial exemption and input tax recovery, VAT grouping, place of supply, and how a treatment will stand up to review.
Where a position has already gone wrong, correcting it proactively is worth more than leaving it to surface later.

The consultants
Two of us, both senior, both doing the work rather than selling it.

Indirect tax
UK VAT advisory with HMRC and private practice behind it. Three and a half years inside HMRC leading VAT and cross-tax investigations, then indirect tax at PwC and PKF Littlejohn, where she ran a portfolio of more than 38 UK and international clients and handled HMRC enquiries end to end. She has seen the same enquiry from both sides of the desk.

Your paperwork
We sign your NDA and your DPA, and work to your security policies rather than insisting on ours.
Insured
Professional indemnity and public liability cover across both consultants. Certificates on request.
One named lead
One consultant is accountable for each engagement, by name, in the contract.
The full detail is on the Trust & Transparency page.
Most firms sell you a partner and deliver a graduate.
We do not have anyone to delegate to, which sounds like a limitation and is mostly the point.
Senior hands only
The person with the experience is the person on the work. Nobody is learning the problem at your expense.
No account management
Nobody sits between you and the work. No status call with someone who was not in the room.
Agreed before it starts
A defined outcome and a fixed fee, settled in writing. Not a day rate, and not an open meter.
