Your new company
This is an excellent opportunity to join a leading regional independent firm in the NW, in a pure tax advisory role, partnering with some of the leading local enterprises, start-ups, and international groups. With three offices across the NW, the firm has an excellent reputation for staff retention, where Directors take a vested interest in everyone's personal and career development, complete cohesion across the senior leadership team, absolute clarity over promotions, and no internal politics. They offer a flexible working model, with the option to work from home when needed.
Your new role
You will be working in a pure advisory role, supporting a core client base of family-run businesses and local enterprises, as well as some international groups, on a variety of mixed-tax projects, such as acquisitions, exits and disposals, demergers, employee share schemes, restructures, profit extraction, trust planning and IHT. This is a newly created role, due to the growth of the firm, and with a strong pipeline of work there is no requirement for this individual to do marketing or business development.
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.

Equally, if you're an experienced manager and content operating at that level, we'd still love to hear from you.

You will be joining a family-friendly firm, with a supportive group of Directors, working in a close-knit tax team on a broad variety of tax advisory projects. They offer a competitive salary of £50,000 to £60,000 per annum plus benefits, free parking on-site and the flexibility to work from home when needed.
