We're looking for an experienced VAT professional to join an established team of advisors and consultants. You'll be supporting a diverse mix of accountancy firms, from sole practitioners to Top 100 practices, providing VAT enquiry consultancy and compliance support.

This role involves working directly with accountants and their clients to manage and resolve HMRC VAT enquiries. In some cases, you'll take over the case entirely, guiding it through to resolution. You'll also provide written consultancy reports, offer tactical and technical advice, and ensure that compliance and AML regulations are met.

This is a mobile position, and you'll meet with HMRC officers, clients, and advisors as needed - approximately once a week.

• Managing a varied caseload of insured and uninsured VAT compliance cases.
• Producing detailed consultancy reports and providing technical opinions.
• Acting as the point of contact for clients and liaising directly with HMRC.
• Handling full case management from enquiry through to closure.
• Attending Alternative Dispute Resolution meetings and, where appropriate, supporting Tribunal proceedings.
• Conducting research and providing second opinions on complex VAT matters.
• Keeping up to date with changes in VAT legislation and wider indirect tax developments.
• Working closely with the wider VAT team and contributing to marketing and business development initiatives.

• A strong grounding in VAT gained through practice, industry, or HMRC experience.
• Preferably, a background specialising in HMRC VAT enquiry work.
• A recognised professional qualification, or equivalent experience.
• Excellent communication skills - both written and verbal.
• The ability to manage your own workload and deliver results under pressure.
• A collaborative mindset with a focus on delivering exceptional client service.
