Williams-Denton was a CF1 (director) in relation to an unnamed 'Firm  A'  between 20 December 2002 and 31 January 2014. He was also a partner (CF4) at Firm B (AR) between 14 September 2010 and 31 January 2014, and was a CF1 in relation to Firm B between 1 July 2005 and 9 September 2010.

Williams-Denton worked at Greystone Financial Services. In sentencing him the judge stated that he was dishonest, and created schemes to be sold to high-net-worth clients so that he could benefit financially. The schemes involved conspiring with others in the creation of annual accounts that were required for those schemes to which Williams-Denton was a party. The judge also stated that Williams-Denton knowingly intended to deceive HM Revenue & Customs and that his culpability in the dishonest schemes was high.
