Tax Disputes Specialist
Exeter | Hybrid | Permanent
£60,000-£70,000 + benefits
I'm working with a growing specialist tax advisory firm in the Exeter area that is looking to strengthen its Tax Disputes and HMRC investigations team.
This is a great opportunity for an experienced tax professional to take on a varied portfolio of complex HMRC cases, providing practical and commercially focused advice while working closely with senior members of the team.
The role would suit someone who enjoys the investigative and contentious side of tax, wants exposure to a broad range of HMRC matters and is looking for the opportunity to play a key role within a growing specialist function.
The Role
- Managing a portfolio of clients across a range of HMRC enquiries and tax disputes.
- Reviewing client records, tax returns, and supporting documentation to understand the issues under enquiry.
- Developing robust strategies and responses to HMRC challenges and information requests.
- Advising clients throughout the enquiry process and helping them achieve the best possible outcome.
- Handling complex tax investigations, disclosures, assessments, and penalties.
- Building strong, long-term client relationships through clear and commercially focused advice.
- Working closely with senior stakeholders on complex cases and contributing to the development of the wider disputes offering.
- Identifying opportunities to support existing clients and contribute to business development.
- Sharing knowledge and supporting more junior members of the team where appropriate.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
