Finance Officer
We are looking to recruit a Finance Officer who will be responsible for day to day financial activities including banking, cash management, staff and volunteer expenses, payroll calculations, timely and accurate updating of the Quickbooks finance package, invoicing and reconciliations, and acts as a key support to the Finance Manager and Treasurer. The role also covers a variety of regular returns, and works to ensure that payments to clients from hardship and other funds are managed effectively.
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.
