Your work will include preparing personal tax returns within agreed service timelines, dealing with Revenue on personal tax matters, and building a solid working knowledge of income tax to produce accurate, high-quality returns.

You will also help maintain quality standards, work closely with personal tax clients including cross-border assignees, coordinate with the advisory tax team and KPMG global offices, and contribute to a strong client experience. In addition, you will help improve delivery processes, assist in preparing training material for internal personal tax courses, and carry out general tax administration tasks.

You will join a tax department with more than 750 professionals and 42 partners. KPMG Ireland is described as the largest and most successful tax advisory firm in the country. The team advises individuals, employees, and employers with technical, strategic, and timely guidance so they can make informed decisions while meeting compliance obligations.
