Manager Tax Practice (m/f/d)

AURELIUS’ Task Force is a close-knit team of advisors with deep functional expertise and long-standing management experience. They support value generation in portfolio companies through effective and hands-on project and change management in the areas of Procurement, Operations, Sales/Marketing, IT and Finance & Tax.

To further strengthen our Finance & Tax practice, we are looking for you in one of our EU based offices: Amsterdam, London, Malta, Milan or Stockholm.

As a Manager in our Tax Practice you will support and advise our Portfolio Companies on tax matters and guide them to ensure efficient and compliant outcomes during the lifetime of the investment. This is a high-impact, advisory-focused position where you will be one of the key advisors for tax matters, driving both compliance and value optimization across a growing portfolio.

Due to the rapid growth of our investment portfolio, the tasks and duties of this role may also evolve over time. You will be keen to develop and grow within the role and to take on additional challenges and responsibilities as they occur. If you’re a tax professional eager to take ownership, lead transformation, and operate at the intersection of tax and strategy, we’d love to hear from you.

• Design and build tax functions for newly acquired companies, or assess and enhance existing capabilities to align with best practices and business goals.
• Drive tax efficiency throughout the holding period by implementing practical, scalable solutions tailored to each company’s needs.
• Lead tax readiness for exits, ensuring that companies are optimally positioned from a structuring, documentation, and risk standpoint.

This is an opportunity to shape the tax infrastructure of diverse businesses, apply your expertise with autonomy, and make a measurable contribution to the success of each investment.

• Acting as contact person for Portfolio Company executive management in regard to advice on tax related topics
• Assist in international tax planning initiatives across Portfolio Companies
• Assisting on the optimisation of Portfolio Company tax processes and procedures
• Guiding the Portfolio Companies to ensure compliance with tax obligations (Tax returns and filings, transfer pricing, VAT, sales tax, WHT exemption certificates, CbC reporting etc) and addressing any non-compliance issues and advising accordingly on remediation measures
