Your new company
A well-established and growing independent accountancy practice in Liverpool is looking to recruit an experienced Personal Tax professional to take ownership of its personal tax portfolio. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys managing their own clients, acting as a trusted advisor, and working with a good level of autonomy within a supportive team environment.
Your new role
In this role, you will take day-to-day responsibility for a diverse personal tax portfolio, acting as the primary point of contact for clients and ensuring a consistently high level of service. You will work closely with the Tax Director and will be responsible for managing compliance deadlines, overseeing the preparation and review of self-assessment tax returns, and handling client queries as they arise. You will also liaise directly with HM Revenue & Customs and will be expected to identify potential advisory opportunities, escalating these where appropriate.
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.
