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.
Research shows that underrepresented groups—including women—tend to apply for roles only if they believe they meet 100% of the criteria. At Waracle, we want to break that trend! We hire for passion, potential, and mindset as much as credentials. If you think you'd be incredible in the role, apply—even if you don't tick every single box.

- Professional accounting qualification (ACCA, CIMA, ICAS) or equivalent, paired with demonstrable experience in financial operations and management accounting.
- A track record of overseeing daily finance workflows, maintaining VAT compliance, managing month-end close, and preparing for year-end audits.
- A strong commercial mindset with the ability to link financial performance to broader business goals.
- Proficiency with spreadsheets (Excel & Google Sheets) and modern accounting software and automation tools.
- A collaborative, growth-oriented leadership style with a passion for supporting and guiding junior team members.
