At EY, our Financial Services Private Capital Tax team works with some of the world's leading asset managers, investment funds and private capital businesses across private equity, private credit, hedge funds and real estate. We help clients navigate complex UK and international tax matters, support strategic transactions and deliver practical solutions that enable growth.

As we continue to grow, we're looking for talented Managers who are passionate about the asset management sector and excited by the opportunity to lead client relationships, develop people and contribute to the growth of the practice.

• Advising clients on a broad range of tax matters, including fund tax, international tax, UK corporation tax, income tax, capital gains tax and issues specific to the Wealth and Asset Management sector.
