Finance Graduate

Job Description

A fantastic opportunity has arisen within our European Finance team with a start date of the beginning of September 2026. This newly created Graduate Accountant position is an excellent opportunity for an individual to experience all aspects of a professional role, within a finance team in Industry, with a path for progression to chartered status and beyond. The role will therefore come with full study support for either ACCA or CIMA qualification. You will need to have strong academics and exceptional communication skills.

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.
