Alternative Funds Tax- Associate Director

23 hours ago

London, United Kingdom Grant Thornton Full time

Job Description:

Grant Thornton’s Alternative Funds tax team provides tax advisory, transactions and compliance services to alternative fund managers across all asset classes including private equity, venture capital, private debt, hedge funds, real estate and infrastructure.

The team’s client portfolio spans the breadth of the asset management sector, serving traditional asset managers, financial services institutions, private equity funds, alternative investors, the real estate sector, wealth and hedge asset managers, UK pension funds, and global institutional investors. We combine technical expertise with a commercial approach, to build a strong trusted adviser relationship with our clients.

We have ambitious growth plans and are looking for an experienced, enthusiastic Associate Director with strong UK tax compliance and advisory experience to join our team in London. The alternative funds industry is dynamic, technically demanding and global, giving you the opportunity to work on domestic and international structuring, transactions and UK tax compliance and advisory matters, in addition to working with the wider Grant Thornton International network.

You will be responsible for managing the full suite of tax compliance and advisory services for asset managers themselves and the funds they manage, across the entire investment lifecycle including fund structuring, structuring carried interest arrangements, structuring the investment and divestment of assets and ongoing tax compliance and investor reporting.

Part of the role will focus on working alongside the partner group in building out the practice, building strong client relationships within the current and target client base. An agile approach to working with different projects and people is therefore essential.

A look into the role:


  • Take ownership of providing highly technical tax advice to asset managers and the funds they manage throughout the investment lifecycle of the fund, including transaction and tax structuring support.
  • Deliver partnership tax and corporate tax compliance services to asset management businesses, ensuring their tax reporting obligations and compliance deadlines are met.
  • Assist with investor reporting to enable clients to effectively communicate taxable results to their individual investors.
  • Develop and lead your own diverse client portfolio, ensuring a high level of client service.
  • Work closely with our colleagues across Grant Thornton’s tax practice, Financial Services Industry and international network to identify opportunities from both new and existing clients.
  • Actively contribute to business development activities by proactively managing existing relationships and pitching work to new clients.
  • Proactively train and develop more junior members of the team, including through the delivery of bespoke training sessions.
  • Have a thorough understanding and adhere to the firm’s risk management and quality procedures.

Knowing you’re right for us:

Joining us as an Associate Director the minimum criteria you’ll need is a professional qualification (CTA / ACA / ACCA or equivalent), and to be confident managing a portfolio of clients.

It would be great if you also had some of the following skills:


  • Strong tax technical skills and an interest in the financial services sector.
  • Mix of corporate and partnership tax compliance experience.
  • A track record of leading projects, with a focus on accountability, high quality and timely delivery.
  • Self-motivated and strong team player.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills are required in addition to strong oral and written communication skills.
  • Familiarity with relevant software.
  • Experience of coaching and developing more junior team members.

Knowing we’re right for you:

Embracing uniqueness, the culture at Grant Thornton thrives on the contributions of all our people. Our open and accessible culture means you’ll interact with leaders who are interested in you and everything you bring to our firm.

We’re happy to look at flexible working options for all our roles, and we’ll always do our best to keep your work and life in balance.

The impact you can make here will go far beyond your day job. We’re looking for people who want to contribute, spark fresh ideas and go beyond expectations.
