Trust Tax Adviser
We have an exciting opportunity for a Tax Adviser to join our Trusts Team delivering a quality compliance service to our Trust clients and providing a broad range of tax advice.
We are looking for an experienced and motivated Trust Tax Adviser to join our expanding team in either our Grantham, Boston, Stamford, or Boston office.
This is an excellent opportunity for a tax professional with experience in trusts and estates to work with a diverse portfolio of high-net-worth individuals, trustees, and family offices.
What does this role involve?
As a Trust Tax Adviser you will provide specialized advice on trust taxation and compliance matters, helping clients navigate tax legislation while delivering practical solutions.
Teamwork
You will work closely with colleagues across our advisory teams and the business, sharing expertise and contributing to delivering high-quality solutions. We value collaboration, open communication, and have a supportive team culture.
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.
