Job Description
Deal Advisory Tax
At KPMG, our Values define who we are and the way we do business. As a leading professional services firm, we know that our strength and capability come from our people: their different perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds.
Deal Advisory Tax (DAT) is a dynamic and successful area of KPMG’s Tax & Legal business. We have an inclusive and collaborative leadership strategy and are making bold changes to our culture and how we work. A constantly changing and high-profile field, we work in a fast-paced, challenging and rewarding environment, and can offer a broad range of quality career paths to ambitious people.
The Role
DAT provides market-leading advice to corporates and financial institutions on a broad range of transactions.
Embedded within DAT is our PE & Credit team. The PE&C team works with large and mid-cap private equity and credit intuitions, advising on them throughout the deal spectrum including buy-side due diligence and structuring, sell-side vendor assist, due diligence and structuring, refinancing, restructuring, and listing support.
The PE&C team had advised on some of the largest deals in the market, helping clients understand and quantify historical tax issues, structure transactions, model tax considerations, and reflect our advice in the legal documents underpinning each transaction, all with a continuous focus on maximising value throughout the investment cycle. Working collaboratively across the KPMG network, our work often involves advice across multiple countries, taxes, and work streams.
