Joanne joined the Optionis Group in 2009 as an account manager, working closely with our agency partners. After developing an interest in the technical aspects of the role, she took the opportunity to train as a chartered accountant. She is now fully qualified, and a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). Jo also holds a 1st Class honours degree in Applied Accounting.

Before making the transition into her current role, she was an accountant with ClearSky Accounting, a brand within the Optionis Group, for five years. Jo’s responsibilities included helping contractors operate their limited companies, as well as providing sound accountancy and tax advice to her clients.

Since 2009, Jo has progressed through the ranks within the Optionis Group and she is now Technical Commercial Manager, helping to drive the Optionis brands - including Nixon Williams - as thought leaders in technical accountancy.

If she could summarise herself in one quick sentence? “I have two kids and a cat. And really like tax legislation!”.
