Tax Investigations Director | Manchester | Hybrid | Competitive Salary + Benefits

I am working with a range of leading professional services and accountancy firms across Manchester, including Big Four, Top 20, Top 50 and specialist boutique practices, who are looking to appoint experienced Tax Investigations Directors to lead and grow their Tax Disputes and Investigations teams.

These opportunities are ideal for senior tax professionals looking to combine technical expertise, leadership and client advisory skills within the professional services industry, working on complex investigations and disputes for a diverse client base.

The Opportunity

Based in Manchester, these roles offer the opportunity to lead high-value tax investigation and dispute engagements while playing an important role in developing client relationships and growing a successful tax practice.

You will advise clients through complex HMRC matters, lead teams of specialists and work alongside Partners and senior stakeholders on challenging and commercially important cases.

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.
