Your new company
You will be joining one of the UK's leading tax advisory and consulting boutiques, supporting clients at their most pivotal moments, through growth or consolidation, with a solutions-focused approach. With eight offices across the UK, having opened two further offices in the past 12 months, the firm is continuing to build out and grow by hiring the very best talent in tax advisory.
Your new role
The Indirect Tax Manager role will be working with a very experienced ex-Big 4 Partner, working across a broad range of clients in all sectors and on various technical advisory and compliance-orientated projects. Due to the continued development of the firm and the consistent year-on-year growth of the VAT service line over the past three years, we are looking for an ambitious Manager to further develop their career.
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.
