About Us
Blick Rothenberg are a leading tax, audit, accountancy, and business advisory firm founded on personal integrity and technical expertise. Many of our clients are part of substantial groups with strong international connections. Others are SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) operated by their owner-managers, High Net Worth individuals, professional firms, and charities.
Blick Rothenberg is committed to improving the diversity of its workforce across all levels by building a culture that’s genuinely inclusive, a culture where everyone can fulfill their potential and can be themselves.
The Opportunity
As part of our partnership with Access Accountancy, we’re excited to announce we’re hosting our paid work experience week from Monday 26 October – Thursday 29 October at our Covent Garden, Central London office.
This is a unique experience to gain a genuine insight into both Blick Rothenberg and the accountancy and tax industry. The aim of the work experience is to equip you with the knowledge to make informed decisions on your education and work, post school.
From hearing from our CEO to chatting with our trainees who have recently joined BR, you will have the opportunity to hear first-hand from people across our firm about what they get up to day to day and to expand your personal network.
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.
