We work with businesses across a huge range of sectors - from technology and gaming, through to care homes, art galleries, travel and retail. This is a fast-moving and exciting environment.

If you enjoy working on a variety of projects and sectors, you'll fit right in.

You will take a lead in working alongside FDD and SPA Advisory teams as a Transaction Advisory Services professional to ensure that your work goes hand in hand with theirs. You will be responsible for leading due diligence meetings with the target business, overseeing the due diligence analysis and reviewing reports to ensure they have been accurately and robustly prepared ahead of review by the Partner/Director/Associate Director. You will prepare and review structuring reports based on the proposed acquisition structure, considering the key tax implications in line with the commercial requirements of the transaction. You will be involved in all other aspects of the transaction, including (as appropriate) 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 will 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 be involved in business development, researching and preparing proposals to win new work and taking part in presentations to prospective clients. 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.
