About Us

At Grant Thornton UK LLP, we are part of a global network of independent audit, tax and advisory firms with over 73,000 people in more than 150 countries.

We pride ourselves on being a team of independent thinkers who put quality, inclusion and integrity first. We are proactive, agile and personal in everything we do.

Our Transaction Advisory Services Tax Team

Our TAS Tax team provides the full spectrum of tax services to private equity across funds, deals and portfolio companies. We work domestically and internationally on a wide scope of transactional work.

We are leading advisers to mid-market private equity firms and large acquisitive corporates with deal values ranging from a few million to over a billion.

We support our clients throughout the entire deal lifecycle from initial proposal stage to assisting with offer terms, undertaking due diligence and advising on acquisition structure through to completion and post-deal advice.

We work with businesses across various sectors including technology, gaming, care homes, art galleries, travel and retail. This role involves technical tax application, extensive client interaction and great interpersonal and organisational skills.

The Role

We are looking for bright and enthusiastic individuals interested in a career in M&A tax. As Associate Director in the TAS Tax team, you will provide tax structuring advice and undertake tax due diligence on both buy-side and sell-side transactions for private equity and corporate clients.

If you enjoy working on diverse projects and sectors, you'll fit right in. Here are some things you can expect from a role in TAS Tax:

  • You will lead discussions with and present findings to clients and legal advisors as well as manage the relationship with the target's management team.
  • You will be responsible for leading due diligence meetings with the target business, overseeing due diligence analysis and reviewing reports to ensure they have been accurately and robustly prepared ahead of final review by the partner/director.
  • You will prepare and review structuring reports based on the proposed acquisition structure, considering key tax implications in line with commercial requirements of the transaction.
  • You will be involved in all other aspects of the transaction, including reviewing forecast models, funds flows and considering legal documentation with the support of an exceptional team.
  • Collaborating with other stakeholders is vital in a TAS Tax role, and you will be encouraged to establish a strong internal network to drive opportunities across TAS, Corporate Finance and GT's international member firms.
  • You'll be working closely with external key contacts within private equity funds, corporate clients, law firms and intermediaries to drive business development across the team.
  • You will manage project budgets, ensuring bills are raised accurately and promptly, fees are collected in a timely manner and debtors kept to a minimum.
  • You will demonstrate an ability to produce a well-supported piece of technical research using legislation, guidance issued by tax authorities and/or the firm's technical resources.
  • You will be responsible for ongoing training and development of your team.
Requirements

The ideal candidate will be a qualified chartered accountant or tax adviser (ACA, CA CTA, ADIT or equivalent) with a good grounding in UK tax practices. It would be great if you had some of the following skills, but don't worry if you don't tick every box, we'll help you develop along the way:

  • UK corporation tax compliance and/or M&A experience
  • Exposure to other tax issues – transfer pricing, R&D, VAT, employment taxes, stamp duty, share transactions/share option schemes
  • Proven experience in client handling and project management, building and sustaining relationships
  • Experience of advising on technical tax matters is essential
  • Demonstrable experience of managing multiple deliverables, showing prioritisation skills and meeting deadlines within an expected timeframe
  • Strong Excel and Power Point skills to prepare client and target documentation.
Salary

The salary for this position is around £80,000 - £120,000 per annum, depending on experience.
