Tax & Probate Specialist | Private Client | Surrey (Hybrid) - Remote with 1 day in office per week or fortnight | Full-time or Part-time (3 days considered)
We're looking for a tax professional with a genuine interest in private client work, someone who's comfortable with personal tax, understands the complexity of deceased estates, and can work with both legal and financial stakeholders without hand-holding.
The Role
You'll sit at the intersection of tax and law, embedded within a law firm and working alongside solicitors and probate professionals to manage the financial side of deceased estates. Day-to-day, that means:
- Preparing personal tax returns
- Handling CGT and IHT calculations
- Preparing full estate accounts
- Supporting probate applications (helpful if you've done this, not a dealbreaker if not)
- Liaising with HMRC and internal legal teams
- Communicating clearly and compassionately with clients during difficult times
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 We're Looking For
- Part-qualified or qualified: ACCA, ACA, ATT, CTA or equivalent
- Solid personal tax experience, this is non-negotiable. If your background is purely business/corporate tax, this role isn't the right fit
- Exposure to estates, IHT or probate work is a real advantage
- Strong communicator, written and verbal
- Confident working independently in a remote environment
- A calm, considered manner, you'll regularly deal with bereaved families

The Setup
This is a predominantly remote role based out of Surrey, with just one day in the office per week or every other week — so you get the flexibility of home working without losing the team connection entirely.
We're open to full-time or part-time (minimum 3 days), what matters more is that you can cover both the tax and probate side of the work competently.
Why It's an Interesting Role
Private client and estate work is a niche that rewards specialists. You'll gain broad exposure across tax, legal process and client-facing work all within a supportive firm that takes the technical side seriously.
