TEAM OVERVIEW

KKR's Global Finance team oversees the firm's tax compliance, credit and accounting, and reporting matters to produce analytical insights that drive business decisions and long-term success.

The team is responsible for designing efficient frameworks through internal and external data and reports to understand the market environment and business dynamics and implement best practices.

The team also collaborates closely with KKR's Legal and Compliance team to ensure compliance and accurate reporting and performance of our corporate tax entities related to our investment funds.

The Finance, Tax, and Accounting team also functions as a support for clients, from onboarding to investor communications and overall relationship management across all asset class, as well as responding to any ad-hoc tax-related requests.

***The Employee Capital Services ("ECS") team, which is a new team at KKR, works closely with KKR's Finance, Legal, Compliance and Human Capital teams to manage the full range of discretionary investment offerings for eligible employee participants and key strategic partners. The team leads the creation, administration and compliance of equity and credit offerings including KKR's private investment funds, third-party funds managed by KKR's strategic partners, and portfolio company investments. Employee Capital Services plays a critical role in ensuring that KKR is able to continue to attract and retain the strongest possible talent around the world. The mission of the team also ensures that KKR retains its longstanding tradition of strong monetary alignment with external clients.

The formation of ECS represents the consolidation and evolution of a number of capabilities pertaining to employee exposure to KKR investment opportunities managed across several different teams, including Finance, Human Capital, Tax, Legal, Compliance, Client Services and the Client & Partner Group.

ECS will enable KKR to create a leading internal advisory and execution platform for global investing.

In so doing, the team will help to create greater alignment with fund limited partners and ensure that KKR is able to recruit and retain the most talented professionals around the world.

One of KKR's fundamental investment philosophies since inception in 1976 has been to align the interests of the firm and its employees with the interests of fund investors, portfolio companies and other stakeholders.

The firm achieves this by encouraging eligible employees to commit their own capital to KKR investment funds.

The formation of ECS and this newly created role are part of a broader transformation that KKR is embarking on to achieve scale to meet our ambitious growth targets.
