Accounts Assistant

Walker & Sloan are delighted to be working with an established and growing business to recruit an Accounts Assistant for its finance team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an organised and detail-oriented individual looking to join a supportive business where no two days are the same. You'll play an important role in the day-to-day finance function while working closely with colleagues across the wider business.

The Role

As Accounts Assistant, you'll support the smooth running of the finance department, ensuring financial records are maintained accurately and efficiently.

Responsibilities will include:

  • Processing purchase invoices and supplier payments.
  • Reconciling bank and ledger accounts.
  • Assisting with VAT returns and month-end activities.
  • Managing staff expenses and company payment records.
  • Supporting credit control and resolving account queries.
  • Maintaining accurate financial records using Sage 50.
  • Providing administrative support to the finance team where required.
  • Assisting with general office administration and business support tasks.

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.
