Accounts Assistant
Bury
£30,000 - £35,000
If you've had the career, know your stuff and now just want a really good job with really good people - this could be right up your street.
This is an Accounts Assistant role right in the centre of Bury, so if you're local, you've got the tram practically on your doorstep and none of the usual nightmare commute.
We've just placed their new Finance Manager, who starts end of the month; and you'll be working closely with him and the FD - both of whom are brilliant, easy-going and genuinely nice people to work with.
The role itself is nice and varied, covering both sides of the ledger, and they're at an interesting point in the finance function. The new Finance Manager has been brought in specifically to make processes slicker, introduce some improvements and get things working as they should.
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.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Why you're a good match
You’ve got the grades and the economics background, and your bank internship is exactly the experience this scheme looks for. Apply soon — deadlines close within the month.
Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
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.
So, full transparency - it's not perfect yet.
- There will be things where you'll probably think "I'd do that differently"
- And processes that need tightening up
But that's actually the exciting bit. If you're someone who can cope with a bit of imperfection while things are being sorted, you'll work brilliantly here.
And this isn't necessarily for someone desperate to climb the career ladder. In fact, it's probably better suited to someone who's had the progression, has plenty of experience under their belt and now wants a fulfilling role where they can go in, do a great job, work with good people and go home.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
For full transparency, to achieve the £35,000 salary, you'll need to have experience in month-end close and be able to add value beyond transactional accounting.
Role is office based 5 days a week so you must be happy being in and around the team as opposed to WFH!
