Your new company

Our client, a well-established and highly respected accountancy firm based in London's prestigious West End, is seeking an experienced Private Client Tax Senior Manager to join their team on a short-term contract basis.

This is an excellent opportunity for an accomplished private client tax professional to step into a busy and varied portfolio during a key period for the firm, working with a high-quality client base and a supportive senior leadership team.

  • Reviewing tax returns and ensuring technical accuracy

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.
