We’re working with a Top 10 Firm re an exciting opportunity to join their Private Capital corporate tax team that specialise in looking after exciting entrepreneurial businesses – they focus on the tax affairs of privately owned and private equity backed companies. These are exciting businesses to work with, they are dynamic, entrepreneurial and often fast growing and they need us to help them navigate their increasingly complex tax compliance obligations and support with a range of tax advisory projects as they grow, restructure and consider succession planning.
Their approach is to work hard to build a strong trusted adviser relationship – they listen to what they want to achieve from a business and a personal perspective and help them do so in the most tax efficient way.
They’re part of a much wider national tax practice that also consists of corporate and multinational (who deal with groups with significant multi-national footprint and inhouse tax functions) and their specialist services (innovation tax, employment taxes, VAT and real estate). They’re able to draw on this specialist expertise to support our Private Capital clients as they grow.
