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.

• 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.
• National Markets: We work across the UK with mid-market corporates and PE funds, looking to invest across key UK sectors to grow our local economies.

The Deal Advisory Tax team provides advisory services across the whole deal spectrum including buy-side due diligence and structuring, sell-side vendor assist and vendor due diligence, refinancing, and listing support. Deal sizes can be anywhere from £10m to +£10bn – we work with a variety of clients and on a variety of deals.

We help our clients understand historical tax issues and structure transactions, with a continuous focus on maximising value throughout the investment cycle. Working collaboratively across the KPMG network, our work often involves advice on multiple countries, taxes, and work streams.

We are looking for early career Hybrid Platform Architects / Systems Engineers that are comfortable providing advice and delivering to senior client technologists across our whole client base but, in particular, this role will be aligned to our well-established National Security team.

National Security
The National Security sector is one of KPMG’s key priority sectors. We are growing our team to meet an ever-increasing demand for our market-leading services and are seeking expertise and experience to join us.

Enterprises, when starting on their modernisation journey, often imagine that they will simplify their environment. The reality for many, however, is that adoption of technologies such as cloud adds additional technologies and capabilities, drives divergence in operating models, often splits business processes across multiple tech stacks in different landing zones and, overall, adds significant complexity to the enterprise estate.

You must help make sense of this new complexity, and be able to tame it through judicious use of both old and new technologies coupled with “hybrid” processes that address the needs of both the legacy and the new platform environments. You will have knowledge of both the traditional enterprise landscape, as well as an appreciation of the major cloud platforms and the opportunities, capabilities and pitfalls they present. You will be responsible for helping KPMG to clarify client problems and assist the development of logical and implementable solutions to those problems through robust analysis.
