About Staicha

Staicha is a UK chartered accountancy and advisory firm. We work across audit, financial reporting, and advisory, and we are building a bench of accounting specialists for flexible, remote contract projects.

Our project work sits at the point where accounting expertise meets modern tooling. That includes reviewing and improving how AI systems reason about accounting, plus hands-on quality review of real accounting work. We are looking for experienced accountants who can tell us not just what the right answer is, but why it is right.

The Role

You will use your accounting judgment on real, varied problems. Depending on the project, that means:

  • Review accounting work for accuracy, completeness, and sound judgment
  • Create realistic accounting tasks, scenarios, and workflows
  • Spot errors in journal entries, reconciliations, financial statements, schedules, tax analyses, or written explanations
  • Explain accounting decisions, trade-offs, assumptions, and risks in plain language
  • Help define what a high-quality accounting output looks like
  • Share real-world workflows, edge cases, and professional judgment calls

Projects vary in scope, length, and complexity. Some focus on one area; some span several.

Areas We Are Hiring Across

We want specialists in one or more of these:

  • Corporate / General Ledger — month-end and year-end close, journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, trial balance and financial statement prep, chart of accounts
  • Controllership — ownership of the close, review of statements and schedules, policy and internal review, coordination across AP, AR, payroll, tax, and audit
  • Technical Accounting — GAAP and IFRS research, revenue recognition, leases, stock-based comp, consolidations, business combinations, accounting memos, disclosures
  • SEC / External Reporting — 10-Ks, 10-Qs, 8-Ks, earnings materials, footnotes, MD&A, XBRL tagging, tie-outs, disclosure controls
  • Audit / Assurance — audits, reviews, and compilations, planning and risk assessment, testing and sampling, workpapers, review-note resolution
  • Internal Audit / Controls — SOX controls, operational audits, control design and testing, remediation, process documentation
  • Tax Accounting — federal, state, local, and international, tax provision, deferred taxes, uncertain positions, sales tax, VAT, nexus, returns and research
  • FP&A — budgets, rolling forecasts, long-range plans, budget vs. actuals, modeling, board reporting, KPI dashboards, scenario analysis
  • Client Accounting / Advisory (CAS) — outsourced accounting, close, reconciliations, AP, payroll, client dashboards, cash flow and profitability analysis
  • Cost / Management Accounting — product costing, inventory valuation, standard costing, variance analysis, profitability by product/customer/project
  • Fund / Nonprofit / Government — fund accounting, restricted funds, grants, donor reporting, capital calls, NAV, grant compliance
  • AP, AR, Payroll, Transactional — vendor bills, 1099s, invoicing, collections, aging, payroll entries and reconciliations, subledger-to-GL
  • Accounting Systems / Finance Ops — ERP setup and reporting, close and reconciliation automation, consolidation structures, process improvement

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.
