M&A Tax Manager

Our M&A Tax Team (part of our wider Corporate & Business Tax Team) are now looking for an M&A Tax Manager to join this exciting and growing department. The right candidate will work alongside partners and directors, to provide bespoke tax advice to clients in respect of a wide range of corporate transactions. 

The team is currently top heavy with vast experience across one director and 3 partners spending significant amounts of their time servicing the M&A needs of the firm’s clients. They are supported by specialist and more junior resource from our wider team.  Our immediate recruitment need arises from servicing growth we have already achieved whilst also committing to our objective of growing this service line substantially and we have no shortage of quality work and opportunities.  

The M&A Tax Team advise across all areas of transaction tax. Our clients are primarily owner managed businesses and their shareholders, although we are increasingly winning and delivering work involving institutional buyers and investors.  Deal size ranges from circa £5m to over £100m with many deals falling in the £15m to £50m value range both from a sell side advisory and buy side due diligence perspective.

Our work comes primarily from direct referrals from ex/current clients, intermediaries and from our own in-house Corporate Finance team.  One of our major routes to market is to partner with our Corporate Finance team and provide an offering which, whilst not unique, is very compelling in our market.

Our work includes:

• Pre-sale support and tax restructuring;

• Buy side due diligence for acquisitions and lending reviews;

• Transaction tax support and structuring advice to vendors on sale mandates;

• Post sale integration, group rationalisation exercises etc.

We do all this work on a daily basis. Our team see every deal from start to finish and advise on every aspect.

Our team pride themselves on their technical ability and commercial drive to deliver for clients.  We adhere to the highest professional standards and do not undertake any work or planning which we do not believe is in our client’s interest or contravenes the letter or the spirit of the law or regulations imposed by our regulators.
