The Opportunity
Our client is looking for ambitious individuals to join them as they scale from an already-fast-growing independent to one of the leading names in FX. Based in Canary Wharf, this is a business that's grown 30% year-on-year since 2017 and they're not slowing down.
They're privately owned, founder-led, and built by people who still get on the phone with clients. No corporate red tape, no committee decisions just a fast-paced desk with real ownership on the table for people who want to get stuck in.
Who are they?
An independently owned FX company specialising in tailored currency hedging, doing £1.6 billion in annual FX flow with a current EBITDA valuation of £25–30 million. Founder led who has no plans to sell and no interest in slowing the growth down.
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.
