Corporate Tax | First Move into Industry | £Competitive | Cheshire
Recently qualified in Tax and ready to make your first move into industry?
KC Group are working with a high-growth, global business that is looking to hire a newly qualified Corporate Tax professional into its growing in-house tax team.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone coming from a Top 6 accountancy firm with strong corporate tax compliance experience who wants to move into industry and gain exposure to much more than compliance.
You’ll work closely with the Head of Direct Tax and Direct Tax Manager, supporting a broad UK and international tax agenda across compliance, tax accounting, transfer pricing and wider advisory projects.
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.
