Our Funds Tax team is a fast‑growing and ambitious practice, offering significant opportunities for progression and development. We work with a broad range of investment funds, fund managers and related vehicles across private equity, venture capital and other alternative asset classes. The team supports clients on both complex tax reporting and advisory matters throughout the fund lifecycle. Typically, we become the ‘house advisor’ looking after every aspect of the structure whether that is partnership tax at the fund level, corporation tax within the group or personal tax for the executives and carry holders.

That wide tax technical remit means that we work closely with colleagues across corporate tax, private client services, international tax, VAT, transfer pricing and transaction services alongside close relationships with the audit and consulting practices to provide a fully integrated service to asset managers and their funds.

As an Assistant Manager within the Fund Tax team, you will take ownership of a portfolio of investment manager houses and look after all of the tax issues arising for those clients from delivering high‑quality tax reporting services, ongoing support and liaison, to substantial advisory projects. You will review the work of junior team members, support senior colleagues on technical projects, and contribute to business development initiatives.

Specific fund tax experience is not required – we are seeking candidates with enquiring minds who will take an interest in the commercial drivers and business models of our clients. The tax issues are diverse enough that almost any previous tax experience will come in useful – we can provide the training and opportunities to learn about the sector specific tax technical aspects.
