Senior Tax Analyst | London | 6 Month Contract
If you like a tax puzzle, this one could suit you.
I'm partnering with a well-known consumer brand that's looking for an experienced tax professional to help its tax team with a busy period of project work. This is an initial six-month contract.
This is a project-focused role rather than traditional BAU compliance. The team has live tax authority audits running, historical issues to resolve and opportunities to recover overpaid tax. They need someone who can take ownership of that work so day-to-day operations aren't disrupted.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you'll be doing:
- Investigating historical tax and balance sheet positions
- Supporting ongoing tax authority audits and investigations
- Playing a key part in a review of historical overseas tax reporting
- Finding opportunities to recover overpaid tax and other assets
- Working with stakeholders across the business to understand how processes and transactions have been handled in the past
What we're looking for:
- A strong VAT compliance background, including returns, reconciliations and balance sheets
- Experience supporting tax authority or internal audits
- A naturally curious, hands-on approach to getting to the root of complex issues
- Comfort working independently on ambiguous problems
- Confidence explaining tax to people outside the tax function
- Ideally, an in-house background in retail, e-commerce or consumer goods. Candidates from the Big Four with broad, practical experience will also be considered.
