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.

The KPMG financial services corporate 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. 

The role is in our Core Asset Management tax team, with a particular focus on our Private Equity Funds client base. 

 

Our team has a diverse client and target base spanning the Financial Services sector - providing services to traditional asset managers and financial services institutions, private equity funds, alternative investors, the real estate sector, wealth and hedge asset managers, UK pension funds and global institutional investors. 

 

We are looking for a candidate with a particular interest in providing clients with corporate and income tax advisory and compliance services, ideally with experience in the FS market sector.  The set-up of the team is such that there will also be opportunities to work across all aspects of asset management tax, including Real Estate Tax, Operational taxes and EU Funds. 

The successful candidate will be a self-starter with a good level of core corporate tax technical or income tax knowledge and a confident outward facing skillset willing to invest time and effort in the marketplace.
