Financial Services - Transfer Pricing Senior Associate

A career in our client’s Financial Services Tax practice, within Corporate Tax services, will provide you with the opportunity to help clients meet their tax obligations while managing the impact tax has on their business. You’ll advise clients on their local and overseas tax affairs, while acting as a strategic consultant related to business analysis, managing working capital, and profit sharing for partners. You’ll also help organisations understand the pricing implications of goods and services between related parties, as well as providing advice on tax implications of deals.

The team you will be working in helps Financial Services clients navigate the frequently changing and complex national and international tax environment related to stringent capital requirements, management of operational tax risks, and tax implications of investing in different jurisdictions. You’ll help clients with their tax structuring while helping to address the challenges of the continuously changing tax world, both locally and globally.

The Transfer Pricing team specialises in helping organisations understand how they should price transactions between related parties. You will learn how clients operate, why they succeed, where value lies and how that aligns with international tax rules. The team is fuelled by curious minds from diverse backgrounds. As part of the team, you’ll work with deep technical specialists in a broad spectrum of areas – together you will present differentiated thought leadership to clients. Our client’s investment in technology, alternative delivery models, and knowledge tools will enable you to deliver work efficiently and allow time to focus on interesting and challenging value added advisory work. Our client seeks to attract the best people from a diverse talent pool and encourage a culture where people can be themselves and be valued for their strengths. This is what makes our client a strong organisation, with an increasingly agile workforce empowered by flexibility in how they work.
