Ready to build your R&D Tax career?
Maybe you've already got some R&D Tax experience and you're ready to broaden your skillset. Or perhaps you've got a strong scientific background and you're looking for the opportunity to move into R&D Tax.
This is an opportunity to join a well-known and highly respected consultancy where you'll work alongside an experienced and highly collaborative team, gain exposure to a broad range of clients and industries, and have access to excellent training and development.
You'll be supported by a team that genuinely works together, with plenty of opportunity to learn from experienced consultants and develop your technical and financial skills. As you become more comfortable, you'll be encouraged to take ownership of different aspects of your work and continue challenging yourself.
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.
