We are working with a small financial services organisation to recruit an Accounts Assistant for an initial three-month assignment to cover long term sick. This is a varied, hands-on opportunity combining purchase and sales ledger work, reconciliations and month-end support with direct contact with members and financial advisers. It would suit someone who enjoys getting the detail right, resolving queries and keeping day-to-day finance running smoothly.
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.
