KPMG’s Tax & Legal practice is a dynamic and successful part of the firm, advising a diverse client base from PE-backed, owner-managed and family businesses through to UK listed and multinational groups across a wide range of sectors.

Tax is an evolving, high-profile area that offers ambitious people varied, challenging and rewarding career paths.

Within this practice, the Treasury Tax team is a growing specialist group providing technical support on deals, financing transactions, international structuring and other complex tax advisory matters. We work closely with Corporate Tax client service teams to deliver high quality advice that is practical, commercially focused and technically robust.

The Treasury Tax team offers exposure to a broad range of clients and issues, with the opportunity to develop deep expertise in a complex and increasingly important area of tax.
