Not your typical Finance Assistant role, you'll be joining a growing finance team, getting stuck into the detail and gaining exposure that can genuinely move your career forward.

The Opportunity

We're working with a growing business that is looking to add an experienced Finance Assistant to their finance team. This is a great opportunity for someone who already has a few years of Accounts Payable / transactional finance experience and is ready to take the next step in their career.

You'll be joining a busy finance function where accuracy, organisation and attention to detail really matter. This isn't a role for someone who wants to sit back and wait for tasks to come in - you'll be hands-on, dealing with invoices, payments, reconciliations and supporting the wider finance team day to day.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Processing a high volume of supplier invoices accurately and efficiently
  • Matching invoices to purchase orders and resolving discrepancies
  • Managing supplier queries and maintaining strong supplier relationships
  • Preparing and processing payment runs
  • Completing bank and supplier statement reconciliations
  • Investigating and resolving invoice and payment issues
  • Supporting month-end processes and reporting
  • Maintaining accurate finance records and ensuring financial controls are followed
  • Assisting with wider transactional finance duties when required
  • Supporting the wider finance team with ad-hoc projects and tasks

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.
