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.

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.

It's a good mix of hands-on accounting and genuinely commercial finance, rather than a role where business partnering means producing a spreadsheet and emailing it to somebody.

About you

We're open-minded on industry background. You'll ideally be:

  • CIMA / ACCA qualified, recently qualified or a strong finalist
  • Comfortable producing management accounts
  • Commercially minded and able to interpret the numbers rather than simply report them
  • Confident working directly with non-finance stakeholders
  • Experienced with budgeting, forecasting and profitability analysis
  • Strong with Excel and large datasets
  • Experience with Power BI, commercial pricing, inventory or product-led businesses would be useful but isn't essential.

The business offers hybrid working, an annual bonus and a strong wider benefits package.
