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.

Description

Joining this firm as a salaried Partner Designate, you will bring your career background as an all-round accounts, tax, audit, etc., adviser to sole traders, partnerships, limited company OMBs, and other clients. The client portfolio can be moulded to either encompass both audit and accounts, with potential for RI status on the audit side if the right professional brings audit skills and interest. It is equally viable to mould the portfolio around an entirely accounts and tax service-focused client base.

You will manage a sizeable fee base of clients, in a client-facing advisory capacity, looking to develop relationships with the clients and drive the growth of this office for the future through new client growth, business development, along with managing teams and playing a lead role in their development and progression. You will play a lead role in the future development and direction of this already successful firm of accountants. A clear path to progression and Partner level is on offer for the right professional.
