Suited to candidates with prior experience in private client tax advisory, trust services, or international tax practice at a major firm.

The Firm

Ladd & Co. is a private advisory and investment firm acting for principals, families, and private institutions across M&A, capital placement, structuring, and related mandates. The firm is family owned, operates across nine cities, and does not advertise its work. Clients come to us on a name, and they stay for generations.

• Demonstrated workstream ownership on live transactions or mandates
• Strong technical foundation in the relevant practice area
• Cross-border execution experience preferred
• Right to work in the relevant jurisdiction

Bring your judgement, curiosity and sense of responsibility. Work with colleagues across jurisdictions on matters that shape businesses, ownership and families.

A firm built on trust asks people to take ownership of their work. It also gives them a team and a platform to carry it through.

Freedom with accountability

Work is organised around outcomes and client commitments. There are no timesheets. Agree what needs to happen, keep people informed and deliver it well.

One firm, across borders

The firm works remotely across nine cities. Colleagues coordinate across time zones, bringing different experience to the same client relationship.

The firm behind your work

A shared foundation for people working with the firm, with room for different lives and local needs.

• A flexible allowance towards health cover, fitness and wellbeing, with access to confidential support when it is needed.
• An annual learning budget for relevant courses, professional qualifications and memberships, alongside development through the work itself.

Your working environment

• Support for a reliable workspace, suitable equipment and connectivity, so working remotely has a practical foundation.

Time to recharge

• Planned time away with coordinated cover and clear handovers. Time-off arrangements that recognise the need for sustained work and a life beyond it.

Family & life support

• Confidential guidance and practical resources through family changes, caring responsibilities and the unexpected demands of life.

Financial wellbeing

• Independent education and planning resources to help people make informed decisions about their finances and longer-term goals.
