About the Practice
Accountancy Practice
Some VAT roles lean heavily on compliance. Others give you the chance to get properly involved in advisory work, build relationships, and influence growth. This sits firmly in the latter category.
A well-established accountancy practice is strengthening its indirect tax capability and is looking to appoint a VAT Senior Manager - Advisory to play a key role in delivering complex work while supporting the ongoing development of the service line. It's a position with real visibility, where your input goes beyond day-to-day delivery.
You'll be advising a varied client base, working alongside a collaborative senior team, and contributing to the wider commercial direction of the VAT offering within the accountancy practice.
The Role
As VAT Senior Manager - Advisory, you'll take ownership of high-level VAT advisory work while also supporting client development initiatives. Based in London, with hybrid flexibility, this is a role where you'll have both technical depth and commercial exposure.
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.
