The Role

:

 

To support both KPMG growth plans and the local region through its period of transformation, we are looking for a Tax Director to join the Aberdeen tax team.

 

As a key member of both the Aberdeen office and Scotland tax leadership teams, the individual would be responsible for developing and executing the Aberdeen tax strategy for PO&PE backed businesses. An exciting client portfolio awaits the successful candidate with sufficient capacity to allow the Director to be out in the market, meeting clients, building relationships and focusing on key growth sectors for the Firm.

 

Whilst this is primarily a corporate tax role, the nature of our PO&PE backed client base necessitates a broader understanding of entrepreneurial tax issues which means the role brings with it a lot of breadth and opportunity and collaboration with colleagues in other areas of specialism. As a senior leader within KPMG, the Tax Director will lead client relationships for all KPMG service offerings (tax and other capabilities).
