About the job

An established advisory firm is looking to hire a qualified accountant at Assistant Manager level to join its growing restructuring and advisory team in Manchester.

This opportunity would suit individuals coming from a strong audit or accounting background who are looking to transition into a more commercial, advisory-focused and client-facing environment. The business has a strong track record of developing professionals moving into restructuring and offers excellent exposure from the outset.

The Opportunity

The successful candidate will gain exposure to a broad range of stressed and distressed business advisory assignments, working closely with senior stakeholders across a variety of engagements. The role offers strong progression opportunities and hands-on experience across both advisory and formal insolvency work.

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.
