Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
Responsibilities will include:
- Taking responsibility for bank reconciliations and ensuring client funds are reconciled accurately.
- Managing payment responsibilities, including preparing payment runs in line with contractual requirements and deadlines.
- Overseeing day-to-day cash and banking activity across client accounts.
- Allocating cash received from tenants.
- Preparing monthly client accounts and reports.
- Preparing funding requests and associated reconciliations.
- Responding to relevant internal and external financial queries.
- Supporting client accounting and finance projects where required.
The Client Accounts Assistant will therefore gain a combination of Treasury ownership and wider client accounting exposure, rather than focusing solely on transactional processing.
The skills needed and requirements
We are looking for someone who is part-qualified, or working towards becoming part-qualified, in ACCA or CIMA.
You will ideally bring:
- Working knowledge of bank reconciliations and cash transaction processing.
- Confidence managing payment responsibilities and maintaining accurate financial records.
- Experience working within a finance environment with multiple stakeholders.
- Working knowledge of Microsoft Excel.
- Good attention to detail and accuracy.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills.
- Client accounting experience would be beneficial but is not essential.
- Property-sector experience would be advantageous but is not required.
