A specialist opportunity for Tax Investigations professionals ready for their next step.
Are you working in Tax Investigations, Tax Disputes or HMRC Enquiries and looking for a role where you can take on more responsibility, work on genuinely interesting cases and continue developing your technical expertise? An established Top 50 accountancy firm is looking to strengthen its Tax Investigations offering with the appointment of a Tax Investigations Assistant Manager in Milton Keynes. This is an opportunity to join a respected tax team where Tax Investigations is a genuine area of expertise, rather than simply being an occasional part of a broader tax role.

- Managing and progressing HMRC enquiries and investigations from initial engagement through to resolution
- Working on COP8 and COP9 cases and other complex HMRC interventions
- Assisting with voluntary disclosures and tax settlements
- Preparing detailed reports, submissions and correspondence for HMRC
- Analysing financial information and identifying potential tax exposures
- Liaising directly with HMRC and clients
- Supporting negotiations with HMRC and settlement discussions
- Assisting with ADR, appeals and contentious tax matters
- Reviewing work and supporting more junior members of the team
- Building strong client relationships and becoming a trusted adviser throughout the investigation process
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.
