Are you an experienced Accounts & Tax Manager looking for more than just your next job? Do you want to join a genuinely friendly, independent firm where your ambition is recognised and there is a clear pathway to becoming a Director within the next couple of years?

Our client is a highly regarded, independent firm of Chartered Accountants based in Dartford with an excellent reputation for delivering a personal, high quality service to a loyal and varied client base. Due to continued growth and succession planning, they are looking to appoint an ambitious Manager who is keen to take the next step towards Director level.

This is an outstanding opportunity to join a supportive and collaborative team where you'll have real influence over the future of the practice.

The Role

You'll be responsible for managing your own portfolio of owner managed business clients, acting as their trusted adviser while overseeing the delivery of accounts and tax services.

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.
