The Role

Join the UK’s market leading Financial Advisory Restructuring Tax team and make a real difference on a range of high profile insolvency appointments.

A key focus for our Financial Advisory Restructuring Tax team is to manage the corporation tax affairs of companies when Teneo take an insolvency appointment, essentially acting as the in-house tax team for that business. The team both manage the tax compliance and reporting obligations and provide advice to the insolvency practitioners on the direct tax consequences of their intended realisation strategy, including advising on business and asset sales.

• Undertaking primary research on technical issues and preparing tax analyses to support positions adopted in the tax returns. Sometimes this will involve working with external advisors and reviewing advice received to ensure that it is appropriate and aligned with business’s facts and circumstances; and
• Providing advice to insolvency practitioners on the direct tax consequences of their intended actions including asset and business sales. Sometimes this will involve working with an incumbent finance function and other times not.
• Working with our Financial Advisory colleagues, in particular the Insolvency Delivery Team, to understand the progression of the insolvency case and to help develop timetables to ensure that the tax filing obligations are met ahead of any intended case closure; and
• Contributing to the technical and personal development training of the broader team.

To qualify for the role you will have:

• AAT/ATT (or equivalent) or relevant experience; and
