As part of this ongoing work, we are keen to speak with ambitious audit professionals considering their next move within a mid-tier or established independent accountancy firm.

- A proven track record of managing audit assignments from planning through to completion.
- Experience managing a varied portfolio of owner-managed, corporate or not-for-profit clients.
- Strong technical knowledge, commercial judgement and attention to detail.
- The confidence to build trusted relationships with clients and senior stakeholders.
- Experience leading, coaching and developing audit teams.
- The ability to manage multiple assignments, budgets and deadlines effectively.
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.
