Big-firm quality. Boutique culture. A different way to build your tax career.
If you’re an experienced Corporate Tax professional, you probably don’t lack options.
So why consider a smaller firm? Because small doesn’t have to mean small clients, limited work or limited ambition.
I’m working exclusively with a specialist, owner-led tax and advisory firm in Belfast that has quietly built an exceptional portfolio of high-growth, entrepreneurial businesses, including clients headquartered in London and Dublin.
The business is led by two highly experienced Directors, both former Big 4 Senior Managers with significant international experience. They’ve taken the technical standards, client exposure and ambition you would associate with a major firm – and built a very different working environment around them.
They’re now looking for an experienced Corporate Tax Manager to become an important part of the next stage of their growth.
⭐ Why is this different?
- 💰 Above-market reward – a highly competitive basic salary complemented by both monthly and annual bonus opportunities.
- 🌍 Quality clients & interesting work – work directly with ambitious, high-growth businesses across Northern Ireland, London and Dublin.
- 👥 Work directly with the decision-makers – this is an owner-led business. No layers of hierarchy between you, the Directors and the clients.
- 🚀 Career potential – join a growing specialist firm where there is genuine scope to broaden your responsibilities, influence how the tax offering develops and build your longer-term career.
- 🧠 Big 4 calibre leadership – learn and work alongside two Directors who have built their careers in senior Big 4 roles and internationally.
- ⚖️ Work/life balance by design – not something written on the careers page and forgotten during busy season.
- 🚫 No overtime culture.
- 🕐 1pm finish every Friday.
- 🤝 A grown-up working environment – high standards, excellent client service and ambitious growth, without creating a culture where long hours are treated as a badge of honour.
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.

I’m particularly interested in speaking with an experienced Corporate Tax professional currently working within a Big 4, Top 10 or larger accountancy firm who enjoys the technical and client side of their role but may be questioning whether the traditional large-firm career path is still what they want.
You don't need to sacrifice quality of work, earnings or career ambition to achieve a better working life. This opportunity will prove it.
📩 Interested? Drop me a confidential message or contact me directly. Even if you're not actively looking, I'm happy to have an informal conversation about the firm and where the opportunity could lead.
