Compliance and Reporting - Director

Overview

CFGI seeks a highly motivated tax director to join its UK tax team. This role provides an opportunity for an individual who is driven, entrepreneurial and ready to challenge the status quo around the UK tax services industry. You will be involved in all aspects of UK corporate tax (advisory, compliance, reporting and governance) with direct interaction with clients and senior members of the UK tax team to deliver these services.

CFGI provides a combination of integrity, flexibility, creative solutions, and deep tax technical expertise. Many clients are global, market-leading or publicly held companies, while others are privately held, early stage, or venture-backed. CFGI emphasizes a culture of continued learning, teamwork, and professional excellence.

• Client service delivery
• Tax advisory

You will perform tax advisory work likely to include the following:

• Ad hoc corporate tax advisory work originating from compliance engagements – e.g. loss planning and utilization, tax implications of trade and asset transfers, interest deductibility
• Cash tax modelling exercises
• Group simplification exercises
• Tax due diligence for client transactions
• Tax structuring for client transactions

It is likely that a significant portion of advisory work will arise on private equity backed clients; knowledge of the private equity ownership model and investment lifecycle is highly desirable. You should have knowledge/experience advising on:

• Tax compliance related advisory (e.g. interest deductibility, anti-hybrids, transaction costs)
• Exit readiness (health check reviews)
• Exit support (vendor assist role: tax DD support and negotiation, exit structuring, balance sheet)
• UK corporation tax compliance, reporting and governance

You will be responsible for overseeing the preparation and submission of UK corporation tax returns for clients. In collaboration with the UK Tax Partner, you will help design and implement a UK corporation tax compliance service offering that is high quality, efficient and cost effective, aligning junior team involvement with day-to-day client relationships.

Your client engagements may also involve tax reporting and governance matters.

• Seven plus years of corporate tax experience, with some/all time ideally spent in the Big 4
