KPMG is a global network of professional firms providing Audit, Tax and Advisory services. KPMG member firms can be found in over 146 countries. Collectively they employ more than 140,000 people across a range of disciplines.

KPMG has been working in Russia for almost 20 years, and our essential principle has always been to use the firm's global intellectual capital, combined with the practical experience of our local professionals, to help leading companies to achieve their goals. KPMG has had a permanent representation in Moscow since 1990. For the last years KPMG in Russia and the CIS has been one of the fastest growing practices in KPMG worldwide.

In the CIS, KPMG now has offices in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Novosibirsk, Rostov-on-Don, Almaty, Astana, Bishkek, Kiev, Donetsk, Yerevan and Tbilisi, employing together approximately 3, 000 people.

In 2009 KPMG has been awarded as a Financial Advisory Firm of the Year in Russia by ACQ Finance Magazine. KPMG also ranked first among audit firms in Russia in all three ratings of auditors and advisory firms performed by Russian experts: the magazine Dengi (Kommersant publishing house), the magazine Finans and the rating agency Expert RA.

What is tax?

KPMG supplies tax know-how to our clients: we advise businesses on how taxation fits into the broader business picture, and implement decisions that deliver real value. We gain an in-depth understanding of our clients' needs and then provide insights to help them optimize costs - things like where in the world they should base their business to ensure they take advantage of the best tax incentives, and how they should organize their internal structure and tax department - extremely important factors which can help determine cost effectiveness.

What will I do in Tax?

There are two main functions in Tax services: tax advisory and tax compliance. Tax advisory frequently involves working in a multi-disciplinary team and meeting Finance Directors and Senior Managers on client visits. Tax compliance implies that you will take a more specialized approach to analyzing clients' business and tax profiles, looking for process improvements and collaborating with advisory colleagues. But both functions have common principles - starting with an in-depth understanding of the client and a detailed knowledge of the technical issues coupled with communicating complex technical information in a clear and understandable manner. A typical client relationship involves:

• Extensive preparation and research into the business and client issues

• Checking client tax returns for accuracy and identifying potential savings

• Helping clients by checking they have all the information required by tax authorities

• Organizing client files and preparing initial advice

• Consulting and communicating with clients' senior management and auditors

• Mastering and understanding the latest tax legislation and working practices

• Closely monitoring the client - tax authority relationship

• Data analysis and modeling to help clients understand the implications of different tax solutions

• Preparing and presenting pitch proposals, client reports and recommendations.

You can choose one of the following groups

• International Corporate Taxation

• People Services and International Executive Tax

• Mergers&Acquisitions (M&A) Tax

• Energy and Natural Resources

• Consumer Industrial Markets

• Financial Services

• Real Estate and Telecommunication.

What do I need?

• A university degree

• Good knowledge of Russian tax and accounting legislation is preferable

• Fluent English and Russian

• Strong analytical skills

• Willingness to learn and develop professionally

• Ability to work full-time.
