Assistant Manager - Product and Operational Taxes 1

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 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, 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, including those who have spent their entire career in professional services, or those with tax, legal, accounting, and regulatory backgrounds, as well as industry professionals bringing practical experience to client support. Whatever your background, we will give you the support, encouragement, and training to thrive at KPMG.

Successful candidates will have the opportunity to work across our FS and Asset Management tax teams or to specialize in operational taxes. We would be happy to have an informal chat to discuss opportunities in more detail.
