Job Description

I'm supporting a multi-award-winning professional services group who are expanding their VAT Consultancy team!

I'm looking to speak with VAT specialists who enjoy the "problem solving" end of VAT - especially VAT disputes / enquiries / negotiation with HMRC.

This is not generic VAT compliance, this is the interesting stuff - actively unpicking enquiries, managing cases, drafting technical arguments, dealing with HMRC, carrying ADR forward, and occasionally Tribunal prep.

You'll be joining an established team of 30+ VAT specialists nationally - work is varied, the pace is good, and you're dealing directly with accountants and their clients - from sole practitioners right up to Top 100 firms!

Day to Day

  • run a portfolio of VAT enquiry cases (insured + uninsured)
  • research / prepare technical reports + opinions
  • draft HMRC responses on behalf of clients
  • manage ADR meetings
  • prepare / assist Tribunal cases (representation if you've got that background)
  • keep internal AML/Compliance clean
  • help improve marketing content with technical input

YOU?

  • currently in practice, industry or HMRC
  • you're strong technically on VAT
  • you actually enjoy the HMRC enquiry / challenge / negotiation part of the job
  • you like autonomy and owning a caseload end-to-end

You'll be joining an established team of 30+ VAT specialists nationally - work is varied, the pace is good, and you're dealing directly with accountants and their clients - from sole practitioners right up to Top 100 firms!

If you're curious - message me on here or drop me a note & we'll have a confidential chat!
