We’re BDO. An accountancy and business advisory firm, providing the advice and solutions businesses need to navigate today’s changing world. Our clients are Britain’s economic engine – ambitious, entrepreneurially-spirited and high growth businesses that fuel the economy - and the owners and management teams that lead them.
We’ll broaden your horizons
Our Consulting team provide a wide variety of services that deliver value-led advice and outcomes. They have an in-depth knowledge of business, industry sectors and markets and understand the constantly changing risks and opportunities at the heart of our clients affairs.
The Digital team within Consulting helps our clients create competitive advantage and uncover new avenues of growth and profitability through digital strategies. Strategies need to be bold, but they also need to deliver near-term results. That’s why we take a practical approach that marries long-term vision with quick wins and measurable ROI milestones.
Our vision is to be a fully integrated, business-led, end-to-end technology advisor and integrator helping clients to enable business change through leveraging technology.
We’ll help you succeed
Our clients trust us because of the quality of our advice. That quality grows from a thorough understanding of their business, and that understanding comes from working closely with clients and building long-lasting relationships.
Our Digital team is dynamic and fast-paced, providing a stimulating environment for growth and development.
We are seeking a Director to scale a technology-led resilience offering within our Digital practice. This is a strategic, client-facing build role. The successful candidate will lead client engagements, build technology-enabled resilience solutions and draw on an established network to grow the offering.
Operational Resilience sits at the core of the role, with cyber governance, DORA, and wider regulatory drivers forming part of the landscape. The role works across Digital teams to deliver integrated, technology-enabled solutions for clients across sectors.
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.
