Joni Edwards

Joni is a strategic, results-driven tax partner at Tanner, with over 25 years of experience in personal and employee mobility tax. She specializes in delivering practical, scenario-based guidance on complex technical matters such as transaction tax modeling, long-term incentive compensation planning, payroll reporting and withholding (domestic and international), audit resolution, and overall tax cost management. Before joining Tanner, she was a partner at a Big Four firm, where she held leadership roles across four U.S. cities and completed a five-year international assignment in Tokyo, Japan.

Beyond her client work, Joni is passionate about mentoring the next generation of tax professionals—especially women aspiring to leadership roles. A mother of three daughters, she brings that same dedication to developing talent within the industry. She holds both a Master of Accountancy (with a tax emphasis) and a Bachelor of Science in accounting from Brigham Young University. Joni is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and currently serves on the Advisory Board for BYU’s School of Accounting.
