Tax Investigations Manager - #2120323

London | £60,000 - £70,000 + benefits | Hybrid working

A specialist boutique Tax Investigations firm, founded and run by experienced ex-HMRC professionals, is looking to appoint a Tax Investigations Manager to join its growing team.

This is an opportunity to join a business that genuinely specialises in HMRC enquiries and investigations, rather than offering tax investigations as one part of a wider tax service.

The firm has built its reputation around handling complex and sensitive HMRC matters, with particular expertise across COP8 and COP9 investigations.

You will take responsibility for managing a portfolio of complex HMRC investigations, working closely with clients throughout the enquiry process and helping to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Managing complex HMRC enquiries and tax investigations.

• Handling COP8 and COP9 cases from inception through to resolution - essential.

• Advising individuals and businesses on contentious and high-risk tax matters.

• Managing correspondence and negotiations with HMRC.

• Handling voluntary disclosures and settlement discussions.

• Taking ownership of client relationships and case strategy.

• Working closely with senior members of the team on particularly complex investigations.

• Supporting the development of junior team members.

• Contributing to the continued growth and development of the practice.

We're looking for an experienced Tax Investigations professional with a genuine background in handling complex HMRC cases.

You'll need:

• Strong experience in Tax Investigations / HMRC enquiries.

• Proven hands-on experience handling both COP8 and COP9 cases - essential.

• Strong understanding of HMRC investigation processes and procedures.

• Excellent technical and written communication skills.

• The ability to manage cases independently and take ownership of client relationships.

• Strong commercial awareness and a client-focused approach.

Ex-HMRC experience is highly desirable but not essential. The key requirement is genuine, hands-on experience managing COP8 and COP9 investigations.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a specialist boutique firm run by former HMRC professionals, giving you the chance to work alongside people with deep technical knowledge of the investigation process.

You'll benefit from:

• A genuinely specialist Tax Investigations environment.

• Exposure to complex and high-value COP8 and COP9 cases.

• Direct access to experienced ex-HMRC professionals.

• Greater ownership of clients and cases.

• A collaborative and entrepreneurial culture.

• Clear progression opportunities as the practice continues to grow.

• Hybrid working, offering flexibility around your time in the London office.

• £60,000 - £70,000 salary + benefits.

If you're an experienced Tax Investigations professional with COP8 and COP9 experience and want to join a specialist firm where your expertise will be genuinely valued, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
