💧 About Pallon

At Pallon, we are building smart software to automatically report defects in sewer inspection videos and consult cities when to fix them. With more accurate and objective data, we help to prevent wastewater leaks, reduce CO2 emissions, and avoid urban flooding. Our mission is to make cities more sustainable and resilient.

The Role

As one of two people in our Business Operations team, you will have genuine ownership and responsibility across the financial operations of a growing 35-person technology company. Pallon is at the forefront of AI-driven sewer inspection, and as we scale across new markets, we need a meticulous and driven finance professional who is ready to grow with us.

💪 Your Responsibilities

  • Support the month-end and year-end closing processes.
  • Accruals and prepayments.
  • Manual Journal Entries.
  • Monthly reconciliation of account balances.
  • Maintain accurate financial records and documentation.
  • Assist with audits and liaise with external auditors as required.
  • Process invoices, payments, and expense claims accurately and in a timely manner.
  • Assisting with Customer Invoicing.
  • Ad-hoc duties as required.

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.
