Chartered Tax Adviser named in ‘Football Black List’

Chartered Tax Adviser Sofia Thomas (Director and Co-Founder of Juno Sports Tax) has been named in the most recent Football Black List – the most respected celebration of black excellence in football – alongside the likes of Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka, Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling and Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford, as well as pundit and ex-England player Lianne Sanderson.

Sofia is the only tax adviser to be named in the list. Her company, Juno Sports Tax, founded in 2021, provides specialist tax advice to a range of international athletes, primarily footballers.

Sofia said: ‘We set up Juno Sports Tax because we felt there was a clear gap in the market for high quality, independent, professional specialist tax advice in this area. This was especially true of high net worth sports people who have often been the subject of poor advice and targeting around tax evasion. It’s fantastic that in such a short space of time our work has been so widely recognised and to have been included in the prestigious Football Black List is a very welcome acknowledgement of our efforts.’
