Your new company

My client is a well-funded, recently formed independent valuations consultancy, whose partners have a stellar track record in private equity, legal, accounting and tax. With an already-full order book, they are attracting work from all these sources plus directly from C-suite/B2B.

Your new role

The firm are being instructed on a wide range of mandates, and you may well find yourself building up especial depth in valuations for shares, share plans (e.g., MIPs, LTIPs) and options schemes, tax advisory, M&A valuations and Portfolio valuations for PE/VC clients. You may also occasionally help produce reports for Expert work (i.e., contentious valuation) usually in SJE matters.

Your role is very much centred around technical inputs and delivery. The Partners see BD as their own job, and there's no expectation for you to be out there too!

What you'll need to succeed

Refreshingly you don't need to be "the full 360." What do we mean by this?

Well, this is what you definitely will be/have:

  • Minimum 2 years' valuation advisory experience gained in an accounting firm or equivalent independent. You'll either have started as a graduate trainee, or have converted to valuations on qualification 2+ years ago.
  • A significant proportion of that experience to have been in valuations for financial reporting (but don't worry, this is more as an assurance factor of technical background than an indicator of WIP. Likeliest PPA involvement will be for PE clients.)
  • Someone who sees themselves as an innate mathematician and modeller. Maybe even someone who enjoys being total immersion in the world of the model you are building/creating or reviewing.

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.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

And this is what you definitely DON'T have to be/have:

  • Business development skills
  • A naturally client-facing persona

So you can be empowered to be your technically diligent and detailed self, and don't have to concern yourself with the commercial workings of the firm. Bonus will be pegged to technical performance too, so you won't be losing out by not doing BD.

Please note this role is not for real estate/property valuers
Please also note this firm has no sponsor licence, so can only consider full UK nationals
