Deloittes 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.
