Who Shouldn't Apply
If you want to put your headphones on and work through a queue without speaking to a client, this isn't the job. If new systems make you uneasy and you'd rather keep doing things the way you learned them, it isn't either.

We're hiring a Semi-Senior Accountant in Canterbury. £31,000 – £39,000.
I've put the number in the post because you should know it before you spend an evening on an application.
What's Actually Different About It:
- You'll speak to clients from your first month.
- You'll do management accounts and forecasting alongside the compliance, so you get to see what your work changed rather than just which deadline it met.
- And you'll be asked to try new systems, encouraged to use AI every day, and tell us what works better. Curiosity is part of the job description.
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.
