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 Financial and Corporate investors.  Whilst we have teams focused on clients in our three performance groups of Financial Services, Corporates and National Markets, we are a national and connected team, working and learning with each other.

• Financial Services:  We work with private equity, infrastructure, and real estate funds as well as institutional investors such as sovereign wealth funds and pension funds.  This team also works with institutional clients in the banking, insurance and traditional asset management sectors. Our clients have UK, European and Global investment strategies.
• Corporates:  We work alongside some of the most forward-thinking FTSE 100 and 250 businesses, supporting them with strategic acquisitions, carve outs, de-mergers, disposals, and joint ventures both in the UK and cross-border.

An opportunity has arisen in our insurance tax team, specifically focused on the life insurance part of the market. The team provides tax advisory, tax compliance and tax audit services in the life insurance sector, with advisory work spanning a range of corporate, M&A and product tax issues. 

KPMG’s Insurance tax team, part of the wider FS tax team, is a group of around thirty tax professionals of all grades with a strong market reputation working with leading global and UK insurance groups. The team is spread across several sites including centres in London and Edinburgh. The team works as a national team and location does not dictate client allocation.

Our business covers the full spectrum of insurance clients, including major UK-based insurers, international insurance groups, life insurers, pension product and other specialist providers, and brokers.

The successful candidate will work directly for a range of partners and directors who are highly experienced and are recognised UK-wide as leaders in their areas of specialism with strong promotion opportunities.

We are looking for capable, enthusiastic professionals with experience of the life insurance market, and of corporate tax for life insurance groups.

The role involves leading delivery across a range of tax advisory, M&A tax, tax compliance and tax audit engagements in the sector. In addition to delivery, the role will include building client relationships as part of wider client service teams and embedding tax into opportunities where relevant, as well as taking tax propositions to clients.

Another key aspect of the role is to be a role model in terms of knowledge sharing and coaching staff so that they build their life insurance tax specialism and we have a team ready to meet market demand.

The role is a national role. Applications will be welcomed from candidates in any location, with Edinburgh and London being preferred base office locations. 

Base Location: Bristol, Reading, Southampton or Cardiff plus network of 20 offices nationally: www.kpmgcareers.co.uk/experienced-professional/#LeBlender.OfficeLocations
