Your New Company

This is a fantastic opportunity to join one of the UK's leading accountancy firms, consistently ranked among the top 15 nationally and part of a globally respected network. The firm is known for its people-first ethos, collaborative culture, and commitment to professional development. With award-winning training programmes and a strong focus on career progression, you'll be part of a forward-thinking organisation that values your growth and empowers you to make a real impact.

Your new role

As a Business Services Manager, you'll lead the delivery of high-quality accounting and advisory services to a diverse portfolio of clients, including owner-managed businesses, SMEs, and larger corporate entities. You'll oversee the preparation of financial statements, management accounts, and VAT returns, while also providing strategic advice to help clients improve performance and achieve their goals. This role offers a blend of technical work, client relationship management, and team leadership, with scope to tailor responsibilities to your strengths and ambitions.

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.
