Role Description

This is a varied, client-facing role offering responsibility for a portfolio of SMEs, owner-managed businesses, partnerships, and private clients.
You'll act as a trusted adviser, supporting clients across accounts, tax, and business matters whilst enjoying genuine autonomy, strong client ownership, and the opportunity to play a key role in the firm's future growth.
What's in it for you?
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.
