What is Financial Services Tax?

The Financial Services Tax team of almost 200 tax and law professionals is part of our broader financial services office (FSO) – a team of over 1000 Australian partners and people providing advice and compliance services to the Australian financial services industry (and part of our large global FSO practice). 

We deliver the following specialist sub-service line expertise exclusively to financial services clients that include leading superannuation funds, investment managers, banks, insurers, private equity firms and fintechs.
