Start Your Career – Accountancy Apprenticeship
Finished school or college and not sure what to do next?
Fancy a career where you can earn money, gain qualifications AND get real work experience at the same time?
We’re looking for an enthusiastic Accountancy Apprentice to join the team at our Poulton Office.
Earn While You Learn
You’ll work Monday to Friday as part of our team, gaining hands-on experience in a real accountancy practice, with day release to Blackpool & Fylde College to study AAT.
What Will You Learn?
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.
