  • Oversee cash flow, risk management, and compliance, ensuring robust controls and reporting are in place
  • Drive operational efficiency through data-led insight and cost analysis
  • Manage and develop a finance team of 10, building scalable processes as the business grows

  • Manage and negotiate financing with banks and lenders to support group growth
  • Optimise debt/equity mix, lead refinancing, and support investment decisions

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.
