Senior M&A Tax Manager - Reading or London
Senior Manager – Deal Advisory Tax UK | Hybrid | Permanent
An excellent opportunity has arisen to join a leading Deal Advisory Tax practice within a major professional services firm at Senior Manager level, working within its highly regarded M&A / Deals advisory group.
This team advises a broad range of private equity houses, credit funds, and institutional investors across the full transaction lifecycle, including acquisitions, disposals, refinancing, restructuring, and listing support. The work is fast-paced, high-profile, and often cross-border, involving complex UK and international tax considerations.
In this role, you will work closely with Partners and Directors on complex transactions, delivering high-quality technical and commercial tax advice. You will play a key role in analysing and interpreting transaction documentation, identifying tax issues, and translating findings into clear, commercially focused recommendations for clients.
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.
