Your new company
This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing and ambitious accountancy practice with a strong presence across Scotland. The firm has built an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality audit, accounts, tax and advisory services to a diverse portfolio of owner-managed businesses, charities and not-for-profit organisations.
With continued investment in both clients and people, the business offers a collaborative and supportive culture where employees are encouraged to take ownership of their careers. As the firm continues to expand, there is a genuine opportunity for experienced audit professionals to progress into more senior leadership positions.
Your new role
As an Audit Manager, you will take responsibility for managing a varied portfolio of audit and assurance clients, overseeing engagements from planning through to completion. You will lead audit teams, review work carried out by junior and senior staff, and act as a key point of contact for clients, ensuring a high standard of service is delivered throughout the audit process.
The role will involve managing a range of statutory audits, independent examinations and specialist assignments, alongside the review of statutory accounts prepared under FRS102 and Charity SORP. You will work closely with Partners to manage client relationships, identify opportunities to add value and support the development of the wider team through coaching, mentoring and technical guidance.
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.
