Looking to accelerate your finance career?

We're seeking a proactive Accounts Assistant to join a successful business representing a portfolio of recognised global brands.

What you'll be doing:

  • Processing sales and purchase invoices in Sage
  • Supporting weekly payment runs and cash flow reporting
  • Bank, VAT and balance sheet reconciliations
  • Assisting with month-end and quarter-end processes
  • Preparing financial reports and Excel schedules
  • Supporting budgeting activities and the Financial Controller on key projects

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.
