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.

You could come from a Finance, Audit, Risk & Assurance, Financial Controls or Finance Transformation background. What matters is your ability to independently assess an existing finance environment, identify the underlying issues and translate your findings into practical action. You will be comfortable challenging constructively, working with stakeholders and balancing strong governance and control with solutions that work in practice. Crucially, you won't simply identify what needs to change - you'll help make the change happen.
