Job description

About Unity Advisory

Unity Advisory is a pure-play, experience-led CFO advisory firm providing integrated finance, commercial, tax and deals support. We are free from audit conflicts and AI-enabled by design, combining deep technical expertise with automation, analytics and AI built into the delivery of every engagement. We are building an alternative to traditional advisory firms, focused on clarity over complexity, outcomes over hours, and practical advice delivered at pace for CFOs making high-consequence decisions.

The Role

We are looking for a Senior Manager to join our Transfer Pricing practice, supporting a client base of PE-backed businesses and high-growth international companies. This is a hands‑on advisory role — you will lead engagements, own client relationships, and bring real technical depth to cross-border structuring, documentation, and transactions.

You will work directly with CFOs and tax directors, and you will have the opportunity to shape how our transfer pricing practice grows. Unlike a large firm, there is no bureaucracy between you and the work that matters.

Responsibilities

• Lead transfer pricing engagements from scoping through delivery, covering documentation, policy design, intercompany structuring, and HMRC defence

• Advise on the tax and commercial implications of cross-border transactions, including leverage and deductibility in PE-backed structures

• Identify and manage transfer pricing risks in fast-moving transaction environments, coordinating across deal and tax workstreams

• Prepare and negotiate Advance Pricing Agreements and support clients through audits and enquiries

• Manage compliance deliverables including CTSA documentation and OECD‑aligned local file and master file requirements

• Build and maintain trusted relationships with senior client stakeholders, including CFOs, tax directors, and PE finance teams

• Use AI and automation tools in the delivery of analysis and documentation — we expect our people to work smarter, not just harder

• Mentor and develop junior team members, providing clear direction and quality feedback on their work

• Contribute to business development by identifying opportunities within existing clients and supporting targeted outreach

What You’ll Bring

• ACA, CTA, or equivalent qualification, or demonstrable experience at Senior Manager level in transfer pricing

• Solid grounding in UK and international transfer pricing regulations, OECD guidelines, and BEPS

• Experience advising PE‑backed or high‑growth businesses, with an understanding of financing structures, leverage, and cross-border tax considerations

• A track record of managing client engagements end-to-end, including financial and risk management

• Strong commercial instincts — you understand what clients actually need and you know how to deliver it clearly

• Proven ability to build relationships with senior stakeholders and communicate complex technical positions in plain language

• Comfort working in a fast‑paced, project‑based environment with multiple concurrent engagements

• Genuine interest in technology and AI-enabled ways of working — we want people who are curious about how tools can make advice sharper and faster

Work Environment

Hybrid and flexible — we trust our people to manage their time and deliver excellent work. You will spend time with clients and in the office, and we will not count the hours in between.

We offer the opportunity to be at the forefront of AI‑driven advisory services. You’ll be working on cutting‑edge projects and encouraged to deploy the latest analytical tools and approaches. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a fast‑growing business and shape your career.
