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. From our inclusive leadership strategy to our diversity and inclusion targets – we’re making bold changes to who we are and what we do. Be part of it.
We are currently recruiting managers to join our successful Family Office & Private Client Compliance team in our Bristol, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow.
Why join KPMG as a Family Office & Private Client Tax Compliance Manager?
As a national practice our FO&PC team consists of 162 team members across the UK, led by 4 Partners, 7 Associate Partners, and 19 Directors. We work with a variety of high net worth individuals – from stakeholders in privately owned and entrepreneurial businesses, executives of multi-national firms, landed estates, and members of private equity firms, who may be tax resident and/or domiciled in a range of jurisdictions. We also specialise in providing advice to Trusts and Estates, and Partnerships. If you are a highly motivated qualified tax adviser/accountant (ATT, CTA, or ACA/ACCA) with experience of working in personal tax, then we’d love to hear from you. We also recognise and value highly motivated individuals who are qualified through experience rather than exams and invite you to apply too.
What will you be doing?
The personal tax environment moves rapidly and our practice sits within a highly regulated environment. Candidates should be capable of managing a diverse range of tasks and demonstrate an aptitude for project management whilst maintaining impeccable standards of client service.
