About the Role
The Finance Clerk is an integral member of the finance team and plays a key role in supporting the organisation’s financial operations. Reporting to the Deputy Finance Director, the postholder provides essential administrative, transactional and project support across a wide range of finance functions, including project work, debt collection, purchase ledger and cash book duties.
You will work closely with colleagues across the senior finance team, providing exposure to core financial processes and opportunities to contribute to ongoing improvements in finance systems and procedures. To succeed, you will need to combine excellent customer service skills with a strong focus on accuracy, effective time-management and meeting deadlines, while consistently promoting best practice across all finance activities.
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.
