Partnership Transactions Group Opportunity

At EY, we're all in to shape your future with confidence. We'll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go. Join EY and help to build a better working world.

Our Partnership Transactions Group (PTG) is a team of professionals with outstanding tax technical skills and substantial industry, government, and capital markets experience. The group stands alone in the field in combining seasoned specialists in the areas of partnership, real estate and leasing taxation; federal income tax controversy; and economic and financial modeling and analysis. Our cross-disciplinary background and approach uniquely positions us to advise clients in all phases of a transaction's lifecycle, from planning, evaluation of the risks and benefits, and execution from both an economic and tax perspective, to ongoing maintenance and wind-down of the structure, and potentially involvement with any defense of the transaction before the IRS on audit. Working in our group will provide you with the opportunity to work on large, complex, cutting-edge transactions with nationally recognized specialists in the field of partnership, real estate and infrastructure taxation and beyond. Our group has offices in a number of cities throughout the country; being located in Washington, D.C. is not required.

Your typical day will involve working directly with partners/principals in PTG and other national subject matter professionals, and teaming with and mentoring staff, seniors, and managers in PTG, to advise internal and external clients. You will design and execute complex, large-scale partnership and real estate transactions with large clients of the firm, manage due diligence for acquisitions of partnership and REIT targets, and analyze and memorialize significant tax considerations and issues in memoranda and opinions. Representative transactions include corporate and cross-border joint ventures, IPOs (including REITs, SPAC and Up-C transactions), private-equity acquisitions and dispositions (including continuation fund transactions), and internal restructurings in a variety of industries (including pharma and biotech, sports and entertainment, asset management and private equity, hedge fund, renewable energy, real estate, oil & gas, and public-private infrastructure). Through these experiences, senior managers will have an unparalleled opportunity to develop a deep understanding of the complexities of partnership and real estate tax, the interplay between partnership tax theory and practice that is determined through partnership modeling, and the nuances of joint venture structuring. Senior managers will also work with other senior managers, partners/principals on more limited on-call consulting opportunities, writing tax alerts and developments, teaching courses and participating in external presentations.

We're interested in intellectually curious people with a diverse set of interests and backgrounds, who combine an entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to team well with others. You'll need strong communication skills, the capacity to manage your schedule, and the willingness to go beyond narrow assigned task to see the big picture. If you're ready to make a tangible difference right from the start and to bring your big ideas to this growing team, this role is for you.

To qualify for the role, you must have: achieved at least a bachelor's degree, a CPA certification or membership in the bar, minimum of 4-6 years of work experience in professional services or professional tax organization, strong analytical and technical writing skills, broad exposure to federal income taxation, significant transactional experience, flexibility and willingness to travel as well as work in excess of standard hours when necessary, and proficiency with MS Office, including MS Excel, MS Word and MS PowerPoint.

Ideally, you'll also have: willingness and ability to learn and work independently with minimal supervision, demonstrated analytical and problem-solving skills, effective organization and time management skills with the ability to work under pressure and adhere to project deadlines.

At EY, we'll develop you with future-focused skills and equip you with world-class experiences. We'll empower you in a flexible environment, and fuel you and your extraordinary talents in a diverse and inclusive culture of globally connected teams. We offer a comprehensive compensation and benefits package where you'll be rewarded based on your performance and recognized for the value you bring to the business. Join us in our team-led and leader-enabled hybrid model. Our expectation is for most people in external, client serving roles to work together in person 40-60% of the time over the course of an engagement, project or year. Under our flexible vacation policy, you'll decide how much vacation time you need based on your own personal circumstances. You'll also be granted time off for designated EY Paid Holidays, Winter/Summer breaks, Personal/Family Care, and other leaves of absence when needed to support your physical, financial, and emotional well-being.
