In the beginning of 2024, our growth continued as we opened up a dedicated Swiss Tax team in Switzerland. With a number of new joiners already on board we are now looking for entrepreneurially minded graduates who are looking to pursue a career in Tax in a dynamic and engaging team!

What will you be doing?

Coming in as a Tax Analyst, you will have the opportunity to further develop skills that will enable you the opportunity to navigate complex tax matters as our clients expand their M&A operations, reorganize portfolio companies and/or work through cross-border restructurings.
As part of your learning journey, you will work on a number of high quality projects that could include the following:

• tax due diligence reports: which will enable our clients to know what tax risks are in an M&A transaction they plan to make and how to handle them,
  
• transaction structuring reports and memos: to help clients execute M&A deals or restructurings in a tax-efficient way, and
  
• tax rulings: where you will use your technical expertise and writing skills when presenting findings to the Swiss tax authorities, while negotiating and reaching final consensus on the various tax implications to advise your clients on.
  

Coming into the team, you will have the opportunity to collaborate and work with various service lines and subject-matter specialists in fields such as indirect tax, transfer pricing and management incentive programs. This will allow you to gain a broad tax skillset while having the opportunity to specialize over time once you have a better understanding where your interests lie. Over time, you will take on more leadership responsibility becoming a mentor for colleagues that will follow in your footsteps.

What you will need to excel in this role

• You have a degree in law, economics or business administration, preferably from a Swiss university
  
• Your native language is German and your English is fluent. Any additional language (in particular French or Italian) is a plus.
  
• You have the ability and find pleasure in simultaneously working on several projects and effectively managing deadlines.
  
• You enjoy working as part of a team and have great people management skills, as you navigate your day-to-day interacting with our clients and the wider A&M team members.
  
• You have a high motivation to expand your knowledge in Swiss tax law and M&A and are interested in becoming a Swiss certified tax expert (diplomierte/r Steuerexperte/in).
  
• Prior internships or experience in tax advisory or M&A are a plus, but not a must.
  

What can we offer you?

Joining our team, your role will be varied, dynamic and you will have the opportunity to work with prime clients and global players in various industry sectors around the globe. You will be part of the exciting growth journey of the team and the global expansion of A&M.
