Job Description:

The KPMG financial services 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.

As a result of growth in our business, we have a number of roles across our Financial Services Operational Taxes team, which has a diverse client base spanning the FS sector - providing services to banks, custodians, brokers, asset managers, alternative investors, wealth and hedge asset managers, and global institutional investors such as pension funds and sovereign wealth funds.

For the right candidates, there are huge opportunities to be part of an expanding business and to progress quickly as the team grows. The work is interesting and diverse, involving cutting-edge developments and working with some of the best-known FS firms as well as mid-size and new market entrants, supporting their business as they grow rapidly.

The team is diverse and collaborative, with individuals based across London, Manchester, Bristol, and Edinburgh. We embraced hybrid and flexible working long before it became the norm! Our team has a mix of backgrounds, including professional services, tax, legal, accounting, and regulatory backgrounds, as well as industry experience, bringing practical insights to our client support. We provide support, encouragement, and training to help you thrive at KPMG.

Successful candidates will have the opportunity to work across our FS and Asset Management tax teams or to specialize in operational taxes.

We would be happy to have an informal chat to discuss opportunities in more detail.

• Developing and advising on innovative client propositions.
• Participating in business development and proposal activities.
• Collaborating with teams across the UK and globally to provide high-quality operational tax support.
• Developing new client propositions, working with technology teams to create solutions, and ensuring high-quality service delivery.
• Advocating for KPMG and helping grow the business through delivering relevant, high-quality services.

The Person:

The successful candidates are likely to have some or all of the following skills:

• Deep technical ability in tax or financial services, with relevant qualifications or practical experience.
• Practical experience with operational taxes in a financial services context.
• Understanding of financial markets, participants, investors, and products.

• Ability to leverage new tax developments to create client propositions.
• Enthusiasm, resilience, passion, and a desire to learn continuously.
