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.
The aim is clear: develop you into a Management Accountant.
You'll report into senior finance leadership, including exposure to both the Finance Director and CFO, giving you the opportunity to learn from some of the highest-calibre finance professionals in the North West.
This is a high-growth, high-volume service business with ambitious plans for the future. Growth is being driven organically and through acquisition, meaning the business you join today could look significantly different in 12–18 months so as the company grows your role grows with it!
