  • Communicate financial information clearly, professionally and confidently, both in writing and verbally, adapting style to the audience.
  • Support annual budgeting and periodic forecasting processes, ensuring assumptions are robust and clearly understood.
  • Contribute to scenario modelling and other financial analysis to support investment and operational decisions.
  • Identify, escalate and help manage financial risks using sound professional judgement and seeking advice where needed.
  • Ensure processes, controls and procedures are followed consistently, and support colleagues in understanding and applying them.
  • Directly manage junior members of the team, setting clear goals and conducting regular one-on-one check-ins and performance appraisals to evaluate progress, address underperformance, and provide constructive feedback.
  • Coach, guide and support less experienced colleagues by setting clear expectations, encouraging development and sharing knowledge.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement by challenging existing processes, identifying efficiencies and helping implement practical enhancements.

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.
