Richard Winslett

Tax Manager at KPMG



Name: Richard Winslett

Matriculation Year: 2009

Subject:  History

Occupation:  Tax Manager at KPMG

LinkedIn:  Richard Winslett

“After leaving Hertford, where I enjoyed a fantastic three years reading History, playing rugby and enjoying everything that Oxford life had to offer, I faced a predicament that many Historians find themselves in, not knowing quite what to do next. After an initial taste of the legal profession, which involved spending a year in Bupa’s Legal team, I changed tack and joined KPMG’s Tax practice as a Graduate Trainee. Over the course of the next three years I studied for my Chartered Accountancy and Tax qualifications whilst working in the firm’s Financial Services M&A Tax team. Upon qualification, I moved from the world of M&A into the firm’s Banking Tax practice where I have worked for the last two years.

The Tax profession offers an opportunity to utilise the analytical skills developed by reading History and, at a time where tax policy is a key battleground for debate at every general election, it is a dynamic and interesting area to work in. I would be more than happy to meet with anyone who is considering a career in Tax or who would like to understand what life at a large accountancy firm is like. I am also equally happy to provide advice to anyone who, like me, was not entirely sure what they wanted to do with themselves after leaving Oxford.”

If you would like to get in touch with Richard, message him directly on LinkedIn or contact the Development Office who can forward on your email.
