The Firm
Our client is one of the UK's leading accountancy and business advisory firms, known for advising ambitious, entrepreneurial and high-growth businesses as much as the largest corporates. Its Advisory practice spans strategy, operations, technology and risk, and has built a strong reputation for combining technical depth with genuinely commercial, relationship-led delivery - regularly involved in some of the market's most interesting deals and business transformations.
The Opportunity
The firm's Model Build team works directly with clients - both independently and alongside colleagues across the wider business - building bespoke financial and operational models that support M&A transactions, debt refinancing, operational restructuring, and ongoing management forecasting.
As Manager, you'll take day-to-day ownership of model build engagements: leading the design and build of complex, bespoke models (developed primarily in Excel), managing multiple projects concurrently across a diverse range of sectors, and acting as a key client contact alongside more senior team members. You'll also oversee and coach junior team members, reviewing their work to embed modelling best practice across the team.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
There's a genuine growth angle too - the firm is actively investing in Data Visualisation capability, with structured training provided in Power Query and Power BI, giving this role a clear route into dashboard-led reporting and data analytics alongside core modelling work.
