The KPMG financial services tax team is a fast-growing part of the KPMG tax practice. We are looking for  excellent candidates who are seeking a dynamic and challenging working environment within a strong supportive leadership team.  

As a result of growth in our business, we have a number of roles across our Financial Services Operational Taxes team, which has a diverse client base spanning the FS sector - providing services to banks, custodians, brokers,

asset managers, alternative investors, wealth and hedge asset managers and global institutional investors such as pension funds and sovereign wealth funds.

KPMG’s FS Corporate Tax team has an immediate need for a Manager to support delivery of a range of engagements across corporate tax, help us manage our existing portfolio of clients and help us win additional work in the Financial Services marketplace.

The work required by the role would be varied and dynamic and requires a decent level of UK corporate tax knowledge and experience. The role will also require the candidate to be able to work as part of a team both with more senior and more junior staff.

The KPMG FS Corporate Tax Team has a strong market reputation working with leading Global and UK banks, insurers and asset managers on a range of tax services. There is a strong pipeline of project and advisory work. Our team is friendly and supportive with staff members based around the country. The team are used to working with each other remotely for much of the time and therefore we are open to applicants based anywhere in the UK.

The Role

•    The role would involve working on corporate tax advisory engagements for financial services clients
•    Delivery of tax advice, including potentially Pillar Two advisory work
•    If a candidate has an interest in compliance the role could also involve managing and reviewing tax compliance

•    The role will involve interacting with clients directly and managing client relationships and commercial arrangements
•    Potentially providing tax audit support on our financial services audited entities

The Person
 
•    Ideally the candidate would have knowledge and experience of financial services (Banking, insurance, asset management or more broadly) however that is not essential, and we would consider suitably qualified candidates who do not have financial services experience as training can be given as needed.

•    Client and Relationship Management: Developing and leading relationships across a portfolio of clients is crucial. This involves managing client work effectively, maintaining good financial discipline, and proactively identifying areas for additional services.
