Start: ASAP

Our client, a business supplier of natural food and ingredients, is looking for a qualified Bookkeeper to join their team based in London.

What You'll Do

A typical day will involve taking responsibility for maintaining accurate financial records and ensuring that the company's day-to-day accounting transactions are processed efficiently and accurately. The role supports the financial health of the business through effective bookkeeping, reconciliation of accounts, management of sales and purchase ledgers, VAT compliance, and preparation of information for management accounts and statutory reporting.

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.
