Finance Assistant | Events & Creative Industry

£30,000 to £35,000 | Office based with Fridays WFH

I am working with a growing business in the events and creative space who are looking for a Finance Assistant to join their team.

This is not just a transactional finance role. You’ll sit close to the production team, Finance Director and founders, supporting the financial side of live projects and helping make sure suppliers, clients and internal teams have what they need, when they need it.

The role covers:

  • Day-to-day accounts payable and invoice processing through QuickBooks
  • Preparing payment runs, including foreign currency payments
  • Processing credit card transactions across PLEO, Barclaycard and AMEX
  • Allocating client receipts and helping resolve payment issues
  • Processing intercompany transactions with the US finance team
  • Monthly bank reconciliations
  • Working with finance and production to improve processes as the business grows

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.

There is a good development story here too. They are looking for someone who can grow with the business, with a progression route towards a Project/Production Accountant position rather than this remaining a Finance Assistant role indefinitely.

The package is £30,000–£35,000, private medical, pension matching and 22 days’ holiday increasing with service. The role is predominantly office based, with the option to work from home on Fridays.

If this sounds like it could be the right next move, send a message direct to dan@saucerecrtuitment.com or apply through LinkedIn and I’ll be happy to talk you through the company and opportunity confidentially.
