You're probably not looking for another month-end role. You're looking for a business where finance has a seat at the table. A place where your analysis influences decisions, your opinions are listened to, and you're trusted to challenge the numbers, not just produce them. If that sounds like what you've been missing, keep reading.
You'll own the monthly management accounts from start to finish, delivering accurate reporting that gives the leadership team real visibility over business performance. But this isn't just about producing reports, it's about explaining the story behind the numbers.
You'll work closely with operational managers, helping them understand performance, challenge spending, identify opportunities and make better commercial 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.
