Tax Manager - FS Corporate Tax

KPMG’s FS Corporate Tax team has an immediate need for a Manager to support delivery of a range of engagements across corporate tax, help manage our existing portfolio of clients and win additional work in the Financial Services marketplace. The work required by the role would be varied and dynamic and requires a decent level of UK corporate tax knowledge and experience. The role will also require the candidate to work as part of a team with both more senior and more junior staff.

The KPMG FS Corporate Tax Team has a strong market reputation working with leading Global and UK banks, insurers and asset managers on a range of tax services. There is a strong pipeline of project and advisory work. Our team is friendly and supportive with staff members based around the country. The team is used to working remotely for much of the time and we are open to applicants based anywhere in the UK.

• The role would involve working on corporate tax advisory engagements for financial services clients.
• Delivery of tax advice, including potentially Pillar Two advisory work.
• If a candidate has an interest in compliance, the role could also involve managing and reviewing tax compliance.
• The role will involve interacting with clients directly and managing client relationships and commercial arrangements.
• Potentially providing tax audit support on our financial services audited entities.

• Ideally, the candidate would have knowledge and experience of financial services (Banking, insurance, asset management or more broadly); however, that is not essential, and we would consider suitably qualified candidates who do not have financial services experience as training can be given as needed.
• Client and Relationship Management: Developing and leading relationships across a portfolio of clients is crucial. This involves managing client work effectively, maintaining good financial discipline, and proactively identifying areas for additional services.
• Team Management and Development: The role requires managing and developing teams to ensure the high-quality delivery of projects, supporting corporation tax compliance/reporting, and mentoring junior team members. There is also an opportunity to undertake performance management responsibilities.
• Technical Expertise: Should be currently operating at Manager or equivalent grade. A good level of UK corporate tax knowledge and experience is essential, along with an awareness of broader tax and accounting areas. The role may also involve carrying out detailed technical research to support projects or queries.
• Business Development: Some involvement in business development activities and working closely with the wider practice is expected to support the growth of the client portfolio.
• Communication and Interpersonal Skills: Strong interpersonal skills, along with strong oral and written communication abilities, are necessary to maintain and build internal and external client relationships.
• Qualifications: Essential qualifications include CTA and/or ACA/CA and/or equivalent legal/HMRC/international qualification.
• Flexibility and Adaptability: The ability to adapt to changing demands brought about by tax, regulatory, and business changes is important.
