What you will do

The Transaction Tax Advisory (TTA) competency comprises teams that are focused on the tax aspects of the client’s capital agenda. We have dedicated professionals who are focused on buy-side due diligence, structuring and cash tax modeling; sell-side tax assistance, structuring and cash tax modeling; internal restructuring; capital structure and refinancing; distressed debt and bankruptcy; and tax attribute calculations and monetization strategies. As part of the TTA Center of Excellence (COE), you’ll be right at the heart of the action. You’ll team with our local office TTA EY professionals providing vital support on tax due diligence, tax structuring, and internal restructuring engagements as the teams advise many of the world’s largest organizations, fastest-growing companies, and private equity firms throughout the transaction life cycle on key drivers to increase value and reduce the tax risks and uncertainty in most complex transactions.

Your key responsibilities

• Collaborate with local office TTA professionals and Engagement Management Services (EMS) on engagement administrative and Tax Quality matters by joining team meetings to understand the nature/scope of the engagement and then taking action by completing the required tasks (e.g., drafting conflict letters, scope documents, statement of works, request lists, fee updates, billing, etc.).
• Manage data room documents by comparing the documents received in the data room to the information request list that was sent and advising the engagement teams on what documents are still needed.
• Coordinate with non-US EY teams by scheduling calls and meetings, following up on outstanding requests, sharing documents and importing non-US sections into the due diligence report template.
• Serve as a member of multiple client engagement teams, participating in due diligence and other engagements (as outlined above) related to transactions for private equity and strategic corporate clients.
• Support engagement teams with finalizing deliverables and document retention in order to meet our necessary Tax Quality standards.
