Founded in 2019, Wilby Jones has gone from strength to strength, quickly establishing a reputation as a trusted innovation partner to both start-ups and established public companies across the UK. They are proud to support a diverse and growing client base—businesses that are pushing boundaries in sectors such as medtech, engineering, and digital services—offering expert advice from early-stage growth through to successful exit.

There’ll also be opportunities to support clients with tax planning strategies and corporate reorganisations, ensuring they’re positioned for future success.

Beyond client delivery, you’ll play a key role in the firm’s continued growth—contributing to business development, building networks, and shaping the future of the corporate tax offering. With further expansion expected in the years ahead, this is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to develop into a senior leadership role within the firm.

What We’re Looking For:

• CTA qualified, or ACA with significant Corporate Tax experience in practice
• Excellent technical knowledge of UK tax legislation, with a commercial and proactive mindset
• Experience or understanding of investor tax incentives (SEIS & EIS) is preferred, with knowledge of employee share schemes (EMI) essential
• Strong communication skills with the ability to build long-term, trusted relationships
• A collaborative approach, working closely with colleagues across the Accounting and Advisory teams
