Accountant
Cardiff | Permanent | Up to £48,000 | Hybrid - three days in the office
We're recruiting an Accountant for a Cardiff-based, VC backed technology business. This is a hands-on finance role for someone who enjoys getting the underlying numbers right and making the reporting that follows genuinely useful.
The work spans day-to-day financial operations, month-end reporting and audit preparation. There is also scope to help improve how the finance function uses business intelligence and AI. You do not need to arrive as an AI or BI specialist, but you should be curious about where better tools and processes could make a practical difference.
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.
