Job Description


Every day our teams help people in businesses and communities to do what is right and achieve their goals.


Our Private Capital corporate tax team specialises in looking after exciting entrepreneurial businesses – we focus on the tax affairs of privately owned and private equity backed companies. These businesses are dynamic, entrepreneurial and often fast‑growing and they need us to help them navigate their increasingly complex tax compliance obligations and support with a range of tax advisory projects as they grow, restructure and consider succession planning.


Our approach is to work hard to build a strong trusted adviser relationship – we listen to what they want to achieve from a business and a personal perspective and help them do so in the most tax‑efficient way.


We are part of a much wider national tax practice that also consists of corporate and multinational services as well as specialist services (innovation tax, employment taxes, VAT and real estate). We are able to draw on this specialist expertise to support our Private Capital clients as they grow.
