Delivery is underpinned by our innovative KPMG Digital Gateway platform. This is an exciting time to be part of our GCT team at KPMG where reimagining tax is a strategic priority for our UK and Global business.

The role involves working on clients of all sizes and across a wide range of sectors., KPMG in the UK is part of a global network of member firms. Through the talent of our c. 16,000 people in the UK we bring creativity, insight and experience to solve our clients' and communities' biggest problems. We've been doing this for more than 150 years.

    Our work spans five areas: we audit many of the UK's largest companies. And our people in Consulting, Deal Advisory, Tax & Law and Technology & Engineering work shoulder-to-shoulder with clients, ranging from small start-ups and individuals to major multinationals, in virtually every industry imaginable. Our work is often complex, yet our mission is simple: to support the UK in a connected world.

We use the power of our voice in UK business to spark debate, share ideas and bring about change, using our global network, to draw on expertise from beyond the UK's borders.

We back this up with targets for inclusion, diversity and social equality and we'll hold ourselves accountable to them.

    At KPMG you can be a part of something big, without having to be anybody but yourself.
