A partner-led service that provides you with access to strategic, senior, Head of Tax expertise without the cost or commitment of a permanent hire.
The tax landscape in the UK for private equity is becoming more challenging. Investor appetites are changing, and their views on tax risk are evolving fast.
Amid this shift, firms are under growing pressure to demonstrate clarity, control and a cohesive tax strategy. Not every manager has the need or capacity for a full-time Head of Tax, and those with dedicated in house resource are often constrained by bandwidth.
That’s where we come in. We provide flexible, partner-led tax leadership that gives you senior expertise when you need it, and the space when you don’t. It’s a practical, scalable way to bring strategic tax direction into your business without the cost or commitment of expanding your team.
Our support spans the areas that matter most:
Investment Lifecycle Support
Guiding tax considerations from origination and structuring through portfolio management and exit readiness.
GP & Manager Oversight
Providing strategic oversight across house structure, governance, remuneration, carry and co-investment, and tax risk management, helping ensure the GP and Manager operate with clarity and control.
Investor Narrative
Crafting a consistent and credible tax story for investors – from fundraising materials and DDQs to ongoing reporting and LP communications.
