A highly regarded and growing accountancy practice is looking to recruit an experienced Personal Tax Senior or Assistant Manager to join its thriving tax team.
With offices across the UK, this firm combines the resources, technical expertise and career opportunities of a national organisation with the welcoming, supportive culture typically associated with a smaller independent practice.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced tax professional looking to further develop their expertise while working with a diverse and interesting client portfolio.

- Managing a portfolio of personal tax clients, ensuring all deadlines are met.
- Preparing personal tax computations and returns for review.
- Reviewing tax work prepared by colleagues outside of the tax team.
- Handling complex HMRC correspondence and enquiries.
- Providing technical guidance to colleagues and clients.
- Assisting with tax planning and advisory assignments.
- Identifying planning opportunities for clients.
- Advising on Capital Gains Tax and Inheritance Tax matters.

- Conducting technical research and contributing to specialist projects.
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.
