Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The organisation has recently moved its finance processes onto Iplicit, so you’ll also play an important role in ensuring the new system is embedded successfully and identifying opportunities to make finance processes even more efficient.
About you
They’re looking for someone with solid hands-on finance experience who enjoys working collaboratively and supporting non-finance colleagues.
You’ll ideally be part-qualified ACCA, CIMA or CIPFA, or Level 4 AAT, with experience of management accounts, purchase and sales ledgers and financial reporting. Knowledge of accounting standards and Charity Commission guidance would be useful.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Previous experience managing or developing a small team would be particularly valuable, alongside strong Excel skills and the ability to build positive relationships with people at all levels.
Most importantly, this role will suit someone who is helpful, approachable and comfortable getting stuck into the detail, while also looking for ways to improve how things are done.
