Make an Impact within our Fund Tax team at RSM UK Our Funds Tax team is a fast-growing and ambitious practice, offering significant opportunities for progression and development. We work with a broad range of investment funds, fund managers and related vehicles across private equity, venture capital and other alternative asset classes. The team supports clients on both complex tax reporting and advisory matters throughout the fund lifecycle. Typically, we become the ‘house advisor’ looking after every aspect of the structure whether that is partnership tax at the fund level, corporation tax within the group or personal tax for the executives and carry holders. That wide tax technical remit means that we work closely with colleagues across corporate tax, private client services, international tax, VAT, transfer pricing and transaction services alongside close relationships with the audit and consulting practices to provide a fully integrated service to asset managers and their funds.

Collaborating with partners to help develop new business and build on existing relationships. Playing an active role in developing, coaching and mentoring the junior members of the team. Building relationships with all other departments, including corporate tax, private client services, international tax, VAT, transfer pricing, transaction services, as well and audit and consulting, to ensure all potential client needs are identified and serviced. Briefing junior staff on the client’s business and the pre-assignment instructions; supervising and controlling the completion of work; and undertaking ‘on the job’ training where necessary.
