Assistant Manager – Alternatives Funds, Tax, Hedge Fund focus

Introduction 

The KPMG Alternatives team provides high-quality and impactful tax advisory and compliance services to the Alternative Investment Fund sector. This includes private equity, hedge funds, credit funds and real estate funds.

Due to our ongoing growth, we have a number of job openings for exceptional candidates. This posting is for a role focussed on Hedge Fund tax and would be well suited to a driven and motivated candidate with experience in the Hedge Fund or Alternative Investment Funds sector, or someone with a keen interest in developing this as a specialism. We are also hiring for other roles across the Alternatives tax team – see separate postings.

 

Key responsibilities


As an Assistant Manager, your responsibilities will include:

  • Preparing tax advice on a wide range of UK and international tax matters relevant to the Hedge Fund sector, including UK corporation tax and partnership tax matters. This will require undertaking detailed technical research of legislation, case law and HMRC manuals. If you don’t have a background in Hedge Funds or Alternative Investment Funds, we will support you in learning about the sector and applying your existing UK corporation tax and partnership tax knowledge.
  • Reviewing corporation tax and partnership tax returns that have been prepared by team members, identifying any errors or changes, and getting them ready for final review and sign-out.
  • Attending client meetings and calls, including playing an active role in the discussion of tax technical topics.
  • Interacting with HMRC, including by telephone and letter.
  • Build long-term trusted client relationships with the clients that you are aligned to. This will include understanding the client’s business and pro-actively think about their needs, in order to identify other KPMG services that they may benefit from.
  • Working collaboratively with other members of the Alternatives team in the UK, as well as with other KPMG offices globally. Adapting your style and approach when needed in order to achieve the best possible outcome.
  • Supporting the team with business development initiatives, which may include researching potential clients, preparing flyers or other marketing material, and preparing for seminars and in-person events.

The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate all of the following attributes:

  • Qualified as a Chartered Accountant (CA or ACA), Chartered Tax Advisor or solicitor (or international equivalent).
  • Career drive to develop a specialism in Hedge Fund taxation and to be part of a fast-growing, high-performing Alternatives tax team.
  • Positive approach to personal development and motivation for progression to Manager grade and beyond, as your experience and knowledge develops.
  • Track record of delivering high-quality corporate tax advisory and compliance services to clients. Experience in the Hedge Fund or Alternative Investment Funds sector is preferred, but this is not essential.
  • Ability to manage competing deadlines by planning ahead and prioritising, and communicating effectively with colleagues and clients, including when under pressure.
  • Strong level of UK corporation tax knowledge and the ability to communicate complex rules and ideas in a simple way, both verbally and in writing.
  • Delivers written work to a consistently high standard, with a strong attention to detail.
