FS Tax Partner

Location: London

Level: Partner / Director to Partner

Firm: Leading International Accountancy Firm

The Opportunity

I am working with a leading international accountancy firm that is making significant investment into its Financial Services practice and is looking to appoint a Financial Services Tax Partner to support the continued growth of its Banking and Financial Institutions offering.

This is an exciting opportunity to join an established and highly regarded FS Tax team, with a strong existing client base, international reach and genuine ambitions to further develop its market presence.

The firm is particularly interested in individuals with experience advising across the Banking sector, although this is by no means limited to traditional high street and investment banks. Relevant experience could include challenger and digital banks, building societies, payments businesses, fintech platforms, crypto and digital asset businesses, and other regulated financial institutions.

The successful individual will have the opportunity to leverage an established platform while playing a significant role in developing new client relationships, expanding the advisory offering and contributing to the wider growth strategy of the Financial Services practice.

The Role

Working closely with the existing Financial Services Tax Partners and wider advisory teams, responsibilities will include:

• Leading complex UK and international tax advisory engagements for banking and financial institutions clients.
• Advising across a broad range of businesses, including established banks, challenger banks, building societies, payment service providers, fintechs and digital asset businesses.
• Developing new client relationships and identifying opportunities to expand the firm's presence across the Banking and Financial Institutions market.
• Providing strategic advice on corporate tax matters, cross-border structures, transactions, reorganisations and evolving regulatory and tax considerations.
• Working collaboratively with colleagues across Financial Services, Corporate Tax, International Tax, M&A and wider advisory service lines.
• Supporting clients as they navigate increasingly complex tax requirements, particularly within fast-growing and evolving financial services markets.
• Leading and developing teams, supporting the progression of future talent and contributing to the strategic direction of the practice.
• Playing an active role in business development, thought leadership and wider market engagement.

About You

I would be keen to speak with established Partners or ambitious Directors who have a strong background in Financial Services Tax and the commercial appetite to help grow a practice.

Ideally, you will bring:

• Significant experience advising banking and/or wider financial institutions clients within a professional services environment.
• Strong technical knowledge of UK corporate tax, ideally complemented by international tax advisory experience.
• Exposure to one or more areas including traditional banking, challenger banks, building societies, payments, fintech, crypto or digital assets.
• Experience managing complex advisory engagements and building long-termin client relationships.
• A proven track record in business development, or clear evidence of the ability to originate work and develop new revenue streams.
• Strong leadership skills, with experience managing and developing high-performing teams.
• A collaborative, entrepreneurial approach and the ambition to make a meaningful contribution to a growing practice.

Importantly, you do not need to have experience across every area of Financial Services. The firm is interested in individuals who can bring genuine sector expertise, strong client relationships and a clear vision for developing the offering.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is a strategic growth appointment within a firm that is actively investing in its Financial Services capabilities.

The opportunity offers:

• An established and respected Financial Services Tax platform with significant international reach.
• Genuine investment and support for developing the Banking and Financial Institutions offering.
• The opportunity to work across both established financial institutions and emerging areas such as fintech, payments and digital assets.
• Access to an existing client base and opportunities for cross-service-line collaboration.
• The autonomy and support to develop new business, build relationships and influence the future direction of the practice.
• A clear opportunity for an ambitious Director to progress into Partnership, or for an established Partner to join a platform with significant growth ambitions.

Interested?

If you are an experienced Financial Services Tax Director or Partner and would be interested in exploring an opportunity within a growing, well-invested practice, I would welcome a confidential conversation.

Please get in touch directly to discuss the opportunity in more detail.

All enquiries will be treated in the strictest confidence.
