The Company

I'm partnering with a leading global professional services firm renowned for its high‑calibre tax advisory work across the financial services sector. Their Alternative Investment Funds (AIF) practice is one of the most established and well‑respected in the market, supporting an impressive portfolio of UK and multinational fund managers. This is a dynamic, growing team that blends tax, legal, and regulatory expertise to advise clients across private equity, private credit, infrastructure, hedge funds, and real estate strategies. The environment is collaborative, international, and offers genuine scope for progression.

The Role

As a Manager within the Alternative Investment Funds Tax team, you will play a key role in delivering high‑quality advisory and compliance services to a sophisticated client base. The position offers a mix of technical tax work, client management, team leadership, and cross‑border collaboration. You’ll work closely with senior stakeholders across the business while developing deep expertise in the complex and fast‑moving AIF landscape.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage a portfolio of UK and international alternative fund clients, ensuring exceptional delivery across both advisory and compliance work.
• Research, analyse, and summarise complex tax issues relating to fund managers, funds, investors, investments, and key executives.

• Build and nurture strong client relationships, acting as a trusted point of contact for day‑to‑day queries and technical matters.

• Proven ability to manage client relationships and deliver high‑quality work to tight deadlines.
• A proactive, commercially minded approach, with the ability to adapt quickly in a fast‑paced environment.

• A recognised tax or accounting qualification (or international equivalent).
• A collaborative mindset and enthusiasm for developing junior team members.
