For a newly qualified accountant, the next move matters just as much as the qualification itself.
This is a rare opportunity to join one of Yorkshire’s most exciting growth businesses in a role offering far more than month-end reporting. You will gain genuine commercial exposure, leadership responsibility, and a clear platform for progression.
Role Overview
Reporting into an impressive senior finance team, you will take ownership of management accounts, financial reporting, balance sheet control, budgeting and forecasting, while leading a small reporting team and supporting wider finance transformation.
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.
