Deal Advisory Tax

At KPMG, our Values define who we are and the way we do business. As a leading professional services firm, we know that our strength and capability come from our people: their different perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds.

Deal Advisory Tax is a dynamic and successful area of KPMG’s Tax & Legal business.  We have an inclusive and collaborative leadership strategy and are making bold changes to our culture and how we work.  A constantly changing and high-profile field, we work in a fast-paced, challenging and rewarding environment, and can offer a broad range of quality career paths to ambitious people.

The Role

Deal Advisory Tax provides market leading services to both Corporate and Financial investors.  Whilst we have teams focused on clients in four key markets Corporates; Private Equity & Credit; Real Estate and Energy & Infrastructure, we are a national and connected team, working and learning with each other.

• Corporates:  We work alongside some of the most forward-thinking FTSE 100 and 250 businesses, as well as Corporates across the UK, supporting them with strategic acquisitions, carve outs, de-mergers, disposals, and joint ventures both in the UK and cross-border. Our corporates business is a multi-sector business, including Consumer, Life sciences, TMT, Industrials, ENR and Banking & Insurance. 
• Asset Management:  We work with Private Equity, Infrastructure, Renewable/ Energy transition, and Real Estate Funds, both large and mid-cap, as well as institutional investors such as Sovereign Wealth Funds and Pension Funds.  Our clients have UK, European and Global investment strategies and will often have teams across multiple asset classes which

KPMG's Infrastructure and Government (IAG) strategy team wants the right candidate for their London-based team. The team needs professional, talented individuals who have a passion for identifying, creating and delivering innovative solutions for public and private sector clients.

The IAG Strategic Advisory Services (SAS) team works with government and industry on the biggest, most complex and pressing strategic, policy and programme implementation issues.

As part of a fast paced and dynamic group, practitioners will have the opportunity to advise on strategic options, business cases and operating models to public sector, agency and corporate clients.

Typically, the advice we provide can be categorised as:

• Market Assessment (e.g. market, policy or technology trends, market capability and capacity)
• Business Strategy (e.g. vision, objectives, strategic options, financial sustainability)
• Operating Strategy (e.g. operating model design, governance and structures, incentives)
• Market Making (e.g. complex business cases, market engagement, procurement strategy)

Within SAS is the Future Mobility team, which this role sits within. We define Future Mobility as the De-carbonisation, Digitalisation, and Disruption of transport through market reform, electric and alternate drivetrains, connected and autonomous vehicles, and Mobility-as-a-Service. The resultant ‘perfect storm’ is impacting automotive, supply chain, energy, technology, infrastructure, funds, transport operators, regional authorities and Government.  Things are changing faster than expected driven by rapid developments in technology, regulation, competition and consumer behaviour.  Over the next 5 to 12 years the organisations that we work with will require significant advisory support: multi £m transformations, multi £m deals, customer and industry 4.0 advice, strategic roadmap development and portfolio delivery.  KPMG has established itself at the forefront of this change, creating new relationships and unlocking significant benefits for transport systems and society

It is an exciting time to join our team as we are growing rapidly and working on fascinating projects – including: bus and rail market reform, digital roads, transport accessibility and inclusivity, and net zero transport. The team blends this with support to the largest infrastructure operators and infrastructure programmes in the UK.
