About the Role
Due to continued growth and activity, this opportunity has arisen for a talented and committed individual with a keen interest in a career in accountancy to join the accounts team. You will study for the AAT qualification and then go onto study the ACCA qualification as many of the organisation's apprentices have done previously.
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.

- Analysis of client data to aid in the production of meaningful reports and statutory accounts
- Work completed may include bookkeeping using a variety of accounting software and VAT returns
- File accounts, tax returns and other relevant documents with the relevant government authorities in a timely manner
- Collection of raw data and transaction testing in an audit setting with the supervision of an audit manager
- Organise workload to ensure most efficient use of time
- Communicate with clients using phone and email to satisfy any queries identified during the course of the work being completed
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.
