Your New Company
You'll be joining a leading UK professional services firm that operates as part of a global network, advising middle-market businesses across a wide range of sectors including technology, manufacturing, leisure, retail, professional services, and construction. The firm is well known for its collaborative culture, commitment to flexibility, and strong investment in professional development, offering a supportive environment where individuals are encouraged to make an impact and progress their careers.
Your New Role
As a Corporate Tax Assistant Manager, you will play an integral role within a nonperforming corporate tax team, supporting a varied portfolio of corporate clients with both compliance and advisory work. You will act as a key contact for clients, working closely with internal stakeholders to plan and deliver tax services efficiently and to a high standard. The role offers exposure to a broad range of technical areas including corporation tax compliance, group reorganisations, R&D tax relief, capital allowances, transfer pricing, and international tax matters, as well as the opportunity to support transactions, restructurings, and advisory projects. You will also be involved in mentoring and supporting junior team members as part of your ongoing development.
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.
