Connect To Your Industry:

Deloitte’s Financial Investors Indirect Tax team has grown rapidly and to continue that growth is looking to recruit high calibre individuals at Associate Director level.

The Indirect Tax Practice is regarded within the firm as one of the leading and most successful service lines, with a reputation for being proactive, entrepreneurial, successful and fun to work with. We reward our employees on merit and not time served.

Working for us will present you with the opportunity to get involved with high profile clients and expand your horizons.

Within the Indirect Tax practice, through the merging of our successful M&A and Real Estate indirect tax teams in 2019 we formed a Financial Investors team. It has seen consistent and significant growth since then (both in revenue and team size). The team has exciting plans for even further growth over the coming years, operating in an area considered a major priority.

The team sits within the Indirect Tax group and primarily works alongside Deloitte's Financial Investors Tax team - one of the most dynamic and fast-growing areas of the business. The team advises across all aspects of VAT for our financial investor clients - working on many of the highest value private equity and real estate transactions in the UK and Europe, supporting high profile investment businesses on their VAT positions and advising private equity backed businesses in all sectors.

Connect To Your Career At Deloitte:

Deloitte drives progress. Using our vast range of expertise, that covers audit, risk advisory, and consulting services across tax, legal, business, technology and corporate finance, we help our clients become leaders wherever they choose to compete. To do this, we invest in outstanding people. We build teams of future thinkers, with diverse talents and backgrounds, and empower them all to reach for and achieve more.

What brings us all together at Deloitte? It’s how we approach the thousands of decisions we make every day. How we behave, our beliefs and our attitudes. In other words: our values. Whatever we do, wherever we are in the world, we lead the way, serve with integrity, take care of each other, foster inclusion, and collaborate for measurable impact. These five shared values lead every decision we make and action we take, guiding us to deliver impact how and where it matters most.

Connect To Your Opportunity:

Having formed a diverse and successful team of 30+ individuals, led by 4 Partners, we are now looking to bring in additional experienced individuals to join the leadership team, help us pursue new growth opportunities and bring a fresh perspective. We are looking for people with great experience in the financial investors sector (including those with experience working with real estate investors), and most importantly an interest/track record in winning new advisory relationships. They will have the full support of the team to leverage our internal and external relationships.

We also have a great track record of supporting individuals to shape their career as they like – whether that is career progression (we have had two Partner and several Director promotions in the team in recent years) or flexible working.
