Your new company
Well-established and highly regarded independent accountancy practice with a strong regional presence and a loyal client base across the North West. The firm has built a reputation for delivering practical, relationship-led advice to owner-managed businesses and individuals, supported by a close-knit and collaborative team culture. Due to ongoing growth within the Liverpool office, the firm is now looking to strengthen its tax team with an additional hire.
Your new role
Your new role will sit within the existing tax team, working alongside a Tax Manager and a junior team member, making this an ideal opportunity for a tax professional looking to take the next step and position themselves between junior and manager level. The role will offer a genuinely mixed tax workload, covering both personal and corporate tax matters, and you will be involved in the preparation and review of tax returns, compliance work, and supporting on advisory projects as exposure allows. There is flexibility around working hours, and part-time working will be considered.
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.

A proactive, team-focused approach and strong communication skills will be key.

The role offers long-term progression opportunities, exposure to a broad client base, and the chance to develop your technical and advisory experience in a friendly and collaborative environment.
