Tax Associate Director
Cardiff
£90,000-£110,000
This is an opportunity to become the senior number two within a growing tax team where client relationships matter every bit as much as technical ability.
The firm is a highly profitable independent accountancy business with a loyal client base, strong staff retention, and meaningful investment behind its next stage of growth. Its tax work covers both business owners and their companies, meaning advisers are able to look at the client's wider position rather than treating personal and corporate matters as completely separate worlds.
As Tax Associate Director, you would work closely with the existing Tax Director while taking greater responsibility for the team, workflow, and day-to-day client relationships.
Your remit
- Managing senior relationships with owner-managed business and private clients
- Overseeing a mixture of personal and corporate tax work
- Reviewing complex advisory and compliance matters
- Managing workflow across the tax team
- Supporting and developing managers and more junior advisers
- Attending regular face-to-face meetings with clients
- Identifying opportunities for additional advisory work
- Supporting new business and referral activity
- Working alongside the Tax Director on the continued development of the service line
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.

The Tax Associate Director does not need to be equally specialist in every area, but the firm is looking for broader experience than a purely corporate tax career would normally provide. A personal tax, private client, or mixed tax background within accountancy is therefore likely to be particularly relevant. Clients in Cardiff expect visible senior advisers and genuine continuity of relationship. The successful individual will enjoy that environment and be comfortable becoming somebody clients actively ask for.
