Within FS Tax, our Private Capital Tax team includes a specialist segment focused on advising the Wealth and Asset Management sector. Based across London and Manchester, our professionals work across multiple alternative asset classes - including hedge funds, private equity, credit, and real estate.

Our clients include market-leading UK-based businesses, US inbound groups, and established UK, European, and global asset managers. With ambitious growth plans across all alternative asset classes, we're offering exciting opportunities for exceptional candidates to help shape our future success.

We also advise the principals of these firms, providing both personal tax compliance and advisory services. Through EY's extensive international network, we deliver cross-border tax support and transactional advice to clients operating globally.

• Manage a portfolio of long-term client relationships, becoming a trusted advisor to each.
• Communicate with clients effectively - both in person and through written correspondence.
• Collaborate closely with EY teams in the UK and internationally to deliver integrated tax solutions.
• Engage with HM Revenue & Customs and other external stakeholders, including financial institutions, legal firms, and wealth advisory businesses.

About You

• Proven track record of providing tax advice to asset management clients and their funds, ideally with some experience of international tax matters.
• Strong tax technical knowledge, including sector-specific expertise within asset management.
• Evidence of a client-centric approach and contribution to a culture of exceptional service.
• Excellent communication skills - able to explain complex tax matters clearly to non-tax audiences.
• Collaborative and adaptable team player who contributes positively to the team's culture.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to delivering high-quality work.
• Enthusiastic about building a broad foundation in tax issues relevant to asset management and keen to thrive in a dynamic, evolving environment.

To Qualify for the Role, You Must Have

• Professional qualification such as CTA, CA (ICAS), ACA, or ATT (or equivalent).
• Experience providing tax advice within the Wealth and Asset Management sector.
• Initiative, professionalism, and confidence in managing client relationships.
