CharteredPartners is seeking an experienced mergers and acquisitions tax professional to join our client in London at Director level. The successful candidate will lead transaction-tax advisory delivery, support origination across the deals practice, and act as a senior technical reference point on acquisition structuring, due diligence and post-deal integration. Specific qualifications, regulatory fluency and technical breadth are detailed in the sections that follow.

Confidential Client. Applying to this position means that you are interested to have an initial confidential discussion about how we can help you to identify and join a new accounting-firm practice. With your authorisation we will exclusively run the entire application and recruitment process for you, keeping you apprised at every step. With over 30 years' combined experience of helping the most talented accounting, audit, tax and advisory professionals to make safe, well-judged moves into rewarding new roles, we have the experience, network and ability to help you.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead buy-side and sell-side tax due diligence, structuring and step-plan delivery for corporate and private-equity clients across UK and cross-border transactions.

  • Advise on Stamp Duty Land Tax and stamp duty implications of share and asset deals and real-estate transactions.
  • Assess Pillar Two implications for transactions, including the Multinational Top-up Tax and Domestic Top-up Tax, and reflect these in structuring and modelling.
  • Coordinate VAT, employment-tax and transfer-pricing input within integrated deal teams.
  • Support origination, proposals and relationship development with corporate acquirers, sponsors and their advisers.
  • Manage and develop managers and associates, and own technical quality and risk across reports and structuring papers.

Required Qualifications and Skills:

  • Member of the ICAEW or ACCA, or an equivalent recognised accountancy qualification.
  • Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA) of the Chartered Institute of Taxation, or clear eligibility to attain the designation.
  • At least ten years of corporate or transaction-tax experience, with substantial M&A exposure in professional services.
  • Comprehensive knowledge of UK corporation tax, the chargeable-gains rules and the loan-relationship regime.
  • Demonstrable command of acquisition structuring, debt pushdown and management-incentive arrangements.
  • Working knowledge of SDLT, VAT on transactions and transfer-pricing interactions.
  • Practical understanding of Pillar Two and its application to deals.
  • Strong report-writing skills and the ability to present findings to deal committees.
  • Excellent project-management skills under transaction timetables.
  • Right to work in the United Kingdom, or eligibility to obtain the appropriate visa.

Preferred Experience:

  • Prior experience in a Big Four or leading independent transaction-services team.
  • Exposure to private-equity fund structuring and management-equity planning.
  • Familiarity with R&D tax relief and capital-allowances considerations in deals.
  • Experience of cross-border transactions involving European and US counterparties.
  • A visible market profile through publications, panels or professional-body involvement.
  • An established network among corporate-finance, legal and sponsor intermediaries.

Compensation:

Competitive package commensurate with seniority and experience, including base, performance-based bonus, long-term incentives and (where applicable) partner-track participation.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
