Your new company
This is a great opportunity to elevate your corporate tax career in one of the 'Big 4' consulting firms. Based in the heart of Manchester city centre, you will have the choice to work with a diverse variety of UK-listed, private equity-backed, inbound and privately-owned businesses.
Your new role
You will work collaboratively to assist the team with the managing of tax relationships across a diverse portfolio of clients, which will provide you with a broad range of technical experience. You will take on a variety of projects covering international tax, treasury tax, group restructuring, tax governance, group reporting and domestic tax advisory and compliance. Depending upon your experience to date and preferences, the split between advisory and compliance will be moulded around you, as will the client base, whether it be mid-market or large cap.
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.
