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.
