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 FS and Asset Management tax teams, which serve 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.

Our team has a mix of backgrounds, including careers in professional services, tax, legal, accounting, regulatory fields, and industry experience, which enriches 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. We welcome informal discussions to explore opportunities further.

The role involves compliance and advisory duties, including:

• Developing and maintaining technical knowledge in corporation tax and related areas.
• Supporting client relationship management and projects, acting as a primary contact within asset management, involving CT compliance, advisory work, tax audits, and product tax engagements like UK investor reporting.
• Understanding clients' businesses and collaborating across KPMG to identify broader tax service opportunities.
• Developing and advising on innovative client propositions.
• Engaging in business development and proposal activities.
• Collaborating with KPMG teams nationally and globally to deliver top-quality tax support.
• Participating in the development of new client services, working with technology teams to innovate, market new solutions, and establish delivery models for quality services.
• Promoting KPMG and the asset management tax team, contributing to business growth through high-quality service delivery.

The Person:

• Deep technical expertise in corporation tax, supported by relevant qualifications or substantial practical experience.
• Experience handling corporation tax within a Financial Services context, from industry or professional services backgrounds.
• Understanding of financial markets, participants, investors, and products.
