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.

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 Corporate and Financial investors. Whilst we have teams focused on clients in four key markets Corporates; Private Equity & Credit; Real Estate and Energy & Infrastructure, 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, as well as Corporates across the UK, supporting them with strategic acquisitions, carve‑outs, de‑mergers, disposals, and joint ventures both in the UK and cross-border. Our corporates business is a multi-sector business, including Consumer, Life sciences, TMT, Industrials, ENR and Banking & Insurance.
• Asset Management: We work with Private Equity, Infrastructure, Renewable/ Energy transition, and Real Estate Funds, both large and mid-cap, as well as institutional investors such as Sovereign Wealth Funds and Pension Funds. Our clients have UK, European and Global investment strategies and will often have teams across multiple asset classes which allows our people to experience different types of transactions.

The Deal Advisory Tax team provides advisory services across the whole deal spectrum including buy-side due diligence and structuring, sell-side vendor assists 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 and quantify historical tax issues, structure transactions, model tax considerations and reflect our advice in the legal documents underpinning each transaction, all 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.

Key Responsibilities

• Work closely with Partners and/ or Directors on complex transactions to deliver exceptional advice and service.
• Support in the pursuit of new opportunities, working on proposals and joining pitches.
• Develop and maintain client relationships alongside Deal Advisory.
• Be a key KPMG point of contact for clients, legal advisers, and other KPMG teams to facilitate effective delivery.
• Coach and develop colleagues, collaborate with peers and be constantly learning.
• Prepare/ oversee detailed technical advice covering a range of UK and international tax issues.
• Perform/ oversee detailed analysis of tax related documents/ data, highlighting key issues and articulating the commercial impact of these to the client.
