M&A Tax Manager, Independent London Firm
£70,000 - £80,000
Are you a corporate tax professional ready to make the move into deals work? Or already working in transaction tax and looking for a platform where you can take on real responsibility and make a genuine impact?
We're working with a well-regarded, independently owned London firm that is actively growing its Transaction Tax practice. They're looking for an M&A Tax Manager to join a team that works across a broad range of domestic and cross-border deals, advising private equity funds, corporates, search funds and other financial investors on the full deal lifecycle.
The Role
This is a hands-on, client-facing position with genuine variety. Day to day you'll be leading transaction tax workstreams, advising on tax due diligence, deal structuring and the tax aspects of acquisitions, disposals and refinancing's. You'll review SPAs, warranties, indemnities and tax covenants, input on financial models, and manage international tax teams on cross-border transactions whilst being the main contact for clients throughout the process.
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.
