Senior Manager, Product & Operational Taxes, Asset Management in London

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 Financial Services Product & Operational Taxes team, which has 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.

For the right candidates, there are huge opportunities to be part of an expanding business and to progress quickly as the team grows. The work is interesting and diverse, getting involved with cutting edge developments and working with some of the best‐known FS firms as well as mid‐size and new market entrants and supporting their business as they rapidly grow.

The team is diverse and collaborative, with individuals based across London, Manchester, Bristol and Edinburgh. We embraced hybrid and flexible working long before it became the norm! Our team has a mix of backgrounds, people who have spent their entire career in professional services, or those with tax, legal, accounting and regulatory backgrounds as well as a number of people who have joined from industry and bring real practical experience to the way we can help clients. Whatever your background we will give you the support, encouragement and training to thrive at KPMG.

Successful candidates will primarily have a focus on product & operational taxes but also the opportunity to work across our FS and Asset Management tax teams. We would be really happy to have an informal chat with you to discuss opportunities in more detail.
