Introduction
Our purpose is to make an impact that matters by creating trust and confidence. As well as auditing some of the world's biggest multi-national companies, we also offer advisory support to businesses in many different areas, including tax, technology, finance, risk, legal, sustainability and much more. To build these supportive, inclusive and collaborative teams, we invest in outstanding people. We're looking for future thinkers, with diverse talents and backgrounds, who we can empower to achieve the most they can.
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.

Your Programme
Not sure what you want from your career yet? A placement while you're still at university is a great way to find out more about your potential choices. If you’re in the penultimate year of your course at university or are going on to do a Masters, this four- to six-week placement could be just right for you.
You’ll be doing real work from day one, using what you’ve learnt at university to help solve complex problems for our clients. Not only will this help you grow, it’ll also give you the chance to explore different business areas and see what types of projects really inspire you. And if you impress us, you could end up with a permanent role here when you graduate.
