Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
About you:
You’ll ideally be AAT qualified or studying towards ACCA/CIMA, with previous experience working within a finance or accounting environment. You’ll need strong Excel skills, good attention to detail and the confidence to communicate with colleagues outside of finance. Experience of management accounts, reconciliations, payroll-related accounting or process improvement would all be advantageous. Part-qualified ACCA/CIMA candidates are also encouraged to apply. Experience using Microsoft Dynamics 365 would be useful but is not essential.
