The Team
 

KPMG's Tax practice is a dynamic and successful fast-growing area of our business with transformational plans to accelerate growth. A constantly evolving and increasingly high-profile field, Tax can offer a broad range of quality career paths to hardworking individuals with an ambition to achieve.

Our focused growth objectives are underpinned by a relentless focus on developing KPMG’s Corporate Tax business within the Private Enterprise market and our East Midlands team plays a key role in achieving those growth objectives.
