Nick Stobbs

Nick Stobbs has spent his career in tax - first in corporate tax at PEM, then a decade building tax software businesses. In 2025, he co-founded Syntax, where engineers and Chartered Tax Advisers turn UK tax law into machine-readable logic, helping firms apply specialist tax knowledge at scale. A regular speaker at CIOT, Accountex and DAS, Nick challenges how the profession thinks about AI - and what it should trust it to do. His argument is simple, tax cannot be “probably right”.
