Redhill, Surrey (predominantly office-based)
£50,000 - £60,000 + Bonus & Benefits
Fast-growing property developer based in Redhill is seeking to recruit a finalist or recently qualified accountant from Practice or Industry. Exposure to the real estate industry, or real estate clients in audit would be beneficial.

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.
