Your new company


A well-established and growing accountancy practice is seeking an experienced Personal Tax Manager to join its expanding tax team. With a strong reputation for client service and technical excellence, the firm supports a broad range of private clients, business owners and high-net-worth individuals across the South East.

  • Managing the delivery of personal tax compliance services
  • Advising clients on a range of personal tax planning matters
  • Reviewing tax returns and associated computations
  • Acting as a key point of contact for clients and HMRC
  • Supporting and developing junior members of the team
  • Overseeing workflow, deadlines and client service standards
  • Working closely with senior stakeholders on complex tax matters
  • Contributing to business development and relationship-building activities

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.
