Ready to Launch Your Career in Finance?

Are you a proactive problem-solver looking to kickstart or expand your career in finance? At RNN Group, we’re looking for an enthusiastic Finance Officer to join our supportive, fast-paced team.

If you thrive in a collaborative environment, take pride in accuracy, and want hands-on exposure to every corner of a modern finance department, this is the launchpad you've been looking for.


How You’ll Make An Impact

You will be an essential engine of our daily operations, gaining valuable end-to-end experience across a broad spectrum of financial functions:

  • Core Financials: Manage day-to-day sales and purchase ledgers, and cashier tasks using our finance systems.
  • Problem Solving: Own the finance, sales ledger and subsidiary inboxes, serving as the helpful main point of contact for internal colleagues and external suppliers.
  • Audit Support: Play a key role in supporting the annual audit of the Group’s financial statements.
  • Process Excellence: Maintain accurate, methodical records while upholding strict data confidentiality and integrity.

What You’ll Bring

  • Education & Tech: Level 2 (GCSE grade C/4 or above) in English and Maths, alongside strong, adaptable IT skills.
  • Relevant Experience: Background in finance, business administration, or the education sector is ideal, but a sharp eye for detail and a drive to learn are just as vital.
  • Personal Attributes: A flexible, organized mindset, strong work ethic, and the ability to work effectively under daily guidance.

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.
