Job Opportunity: 2026 Graduate / School Leaver - Trainee Auditor

Sector: Audit & Assurance

Excellent opportunity for a 2026 graduate to join a well-established and reputable accountancy practice in the KT area.

The successful candidate will have recently graduated in 2026 with a Bachelor’s degree at grade 2:1 or First or will have just received their A-Level results and be looking for an apprenticeship within accountancy. Finance or maths-related A-Levels are preferred, with a minimum B grade achieved.

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.
