Kickstart your career in finance with KKC! We are offering a fantastic opportunity to earn while you learn as our new Accounts Apprentice. You will get hands-on experience in a fast-paced, supportive team, learning everything from bookkeeping to processing invoices, all while building a solid foundation for a long-term career.

Day-to-day

You will support our busy finance team. Tasks include:

  • Processing purchase and sales ledgers and inputting data into accounting software.
  • Assisting with basic bookkeeping and tracking financial transactions.
  • Reconciling data to ensure accurate payments and fix errors.
  • Filing, managing records, and providing general administrative support.
  • Communicating effectively with internal staff and external stakeholders.

Apprenticeship Training

Apprenticeships include time away from working for specialist training. You’ll study to gain professional knowledge and skills.

Course contents:

  • Record transactional data.
  • Use the organisation’s standard tools and processes to examine data to identify transactional issues, such as reconciliations and inconsistencies between invoices.
  • Recognise and rectify routine errors, escalating as necessary.
  • Plan and review accounting and finance tasks.
  • Communicate with stakeholders to deliver accurate and timely results, avoiding jargon, using language tailored to the audience, and different media methods, with an appreciation of the risks and benefits to the business of social media and other digital applications.
  • Use finance and accounting software packages to accurately input and manage data to contribute to routine accounting tasks.
  • Handle data and digital technology in line with cyber and data security requirements, using data securely and safely, including backing up data.

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.
