The Role
We're looking for a Finance Administrator to join our finance team on a six-month fixed-term contract. This is a role built on precision. You’ll be responsible for reconciling a high volume of bank transactions manually and at speed.
Working in Xero and Excel, you'll reconcile Shopify sales and payment gateway settlements from Stripe, Klarna, PayPal and Airwallex back to the bank, you’ll assist with processing supplier invoices, and keep the ledgers clean and close-ready. Much of this work is manual and repetitive by nature, and doing it well takes a rare combination: speed without shortcuts. If you're the sort of person who notices the line that's a penny out, and cares that it's a penny out, you'll do well here.
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.
You'll report to the Finance Manager as part of a small, close-knit team. It's a team that's growing alongside the business, so there's genuine room to shape how this work gets done rather than simply inherit it. Spot a process that could be quicker or a control that could be tighter, and we want to hear about it.
Please note: This is a six-month fixed-term contract based in Edinburgh, working between 3 and 5 days per week. We are currently operating a hybrid working approach with a minimum of 3 fixed days required each week working from our beautiful Townhouse in Edinburgh City Centre.
To apply please submit your CV and combined covering letter, outlining your relevant skills and experience and interest in this position by 25th September 2026. Please note that CVs submitted without a covering letter will not be considered.

- Methodical and self-managing, able to hold a repetitive process to a consistent standard without someone checking every step.
