You'll be joining a young, friendly and hardworking finance team where everyone works closely together and takes pride in getting things done. With a large organisation, multiple accounts and a fast-paced environment, this is a role where you'll need to be focused and organised to succeed.

This is also a genuinely hands-on leadership role. You'll lead and develop the Finance Operations team, but you'll also be expected to get stuck into the detail, support the team and take ownership when things need to be resolved.

The Role

You'll take responsibility for the day-to-day Finance Operations function, covering Accounts Payable, banking, reconciliations, month-end and financial controls.

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.
